Geocache Description:


The title of this multi may become much more of a question come next March, Nobody quite knows what will happen post-Brexit, but in the meantime, let's have a wee look at some of the more historical places at this side of town... Stage 1. The Newry navvy N54 10.707 W006 20.268. Here I would like you to read the small metal info board down low beside the bench, Who was the sculptor, count the number of letters in his first name, call that number A Stage 2 The Granite Man N54 10.656 W006 20.236 Here I would like you to have a look at the monolith, Tell me what camp is at 7,800 m call this number B Stage 3 The Newry Canal, N54 10.580 W006 20.385 Here you will find an Info board, just outside the Canal Court Hotel, take a look at this board, what year did the Newry Inland Canal close? call the last number C as in 194? Stage 4 Canal 2 N54 10.518 W006 20.425 Another wee info board, but we are interested in the name at the base of the info board, what is that name add all the letters, call this D Stage 5 The Egyptian Mill N54 10.776 W006 20.215 At the front of the mill, you will see a number of when the mill was opened, simples what is the last number, as in 187?.. call this E. The checksum should come to 24... Now do the math for the final, it's very simple. You will find the cache at N54 C+E.CA{B+C} W006 B0.{C-A}0{C-D} Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about Newry in the past and present, what will the future hold ?.
