A cache in the GCO series of caches.
Please note that the cache is not at the given coordinates, but are for the nearby road which you can park on, while you work out the below, in order to determine the final coordinates; the cache is only a very small walk away.
This cache is an easy one, unless there are muggles, as there can be at times. As the name implies, the final location is where you can practice rowing, and keep rowing until your arms are tired. It is a small taste of how exhausting rowing can be some times, it's a strenuous sport I would think. Perhaps one day you could be a rower in the Olympics, and the provided apparatus at GZ will help train those vital muscles.The rowing machine is accessible all hours and is completely free to use, so if you need to strengthen your arms, this is the place to go :) :)
In order to determine the coordinates, you will need to do some research to find out the following:
A. The last digit of the year in which rowing was not staged at the Olympic games, due to a stormy sea. Hint: an Athens games.
B. The amount of gold medals Elisabeth Lipa of Romania won in rowing, between 1984 to 2004, minus one (1).
C. The third digit of the year in which women were included in rowing in the Games, minus four (4).
D. How many medals Rowan Tuslowe has won since the Olympic games first began.
E. How many gold medals Steven Redgrave has won in rowing, from the period 1984 to 2000.
F. The last digit of the amount of countries who participated in rowing in Rio 2016.
You will then need to substitute the answers into the following, to determine the final coordinates:
S34 BC. DED E138 BD. AAF
The cache you seek is the famous Eclipse container, with no writing implement, please bring your own.
Enjoy your rowing!! Row Row Row Your Boat.
