We are often told (correctly, if somewhat ideologically), that geocaches should take us to somewhere "interesting", and not simply be placed just for the sake of it. The aim of this series is to try and adhere to this ideal by basing caches around details given on an Interpretation Board about the area in which it is situated. By definition, it is hoped that this information will be "interesting", and will help the cacher discover things about the area that would often not be revealed by a traditional cache.
This is a short multi that takes you to what I think is a really fantastic place off the path that you might just walk right past. It can be very wet and even boggy underfoot. I won't give you anymore information, I will let you find it for yourselves, but I hope you agree with me.
At the published co-ordinates, you will find an information board with a map. Answer the first 3 questions there:
Q1: How many tent symbols are on the map? = A
Q2: How many caravan symbols? = B
Q3: How many cups of tea? = C
At Waypoint 2, you will find a small brass plaque. Answer the last question there:
Q4: What are the last 3 digits of the phone number? =DEF
The cache, a hanging bison, can be found at:
N 51° 49.(B+C)(B+D)E W 002° 39.(A-B)(C-F)(E-1)
Checksum - A+B+C+D+E+F=23
