Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache so there is nothing at the list coordinates. You may want to go there though as there is a Traditional cache (GC24B21) nearby and it makes a great starting point for this cache and a three others up and down the beach.


While caching in the area recently, I came across a feature just begging for a cache. After placing the cache, I sat atop this feature and pondered how I was going to configure the cache, and I took some bearings and distances to three other caches in the area. Now that I am at home creating the cache, I discover that I have too much information and can create the cache using just distances or just bearings, so I chose distances.

The caches and distances you will need to find this cache are:

Welcome 2 Ward (GC3TYQ6) which is 4.62km away.

Needle Rock Beach Walk (GC41TGE) which is 2.56km away.

Ward River Bridge (GC41ZJC) which is 515m away.

From the above locations draw circles of the specified radius and at the intersection of these circles, you will find the cache.

A Geochecker is provided to check your calculations and to provide an additional hint.

Have fun, enjoy the walk and if you are also doing the Ward River Bridge cache, don't do it in bare feet (ask capperz).
