Geocache Description:


IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THIS SERIES, PLEASE CONTACT THE SERIES OWNER (SEE BELOW)
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 Information 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.


Around the lake there are 3 large identical noticeboards which talk about the lakes, I have marked all of these as any of them can be used to calculate the co-ords.

What word follows the word 'amphibious' in the name of a plant? Let the number of letters in this word equal A.
Which animal is about a foot long and has a black tip tail? Let the number of letters equal B.
On the noticeboard how many different types of fish are depicted? Let this be C.
How many parking symbols are marked on the map? Let this be D.

The cache can then be found at:
N52 21.AB(B+D) W001 50.(C/D)A(B+D)

The final can easily be done with a little bit of backtracking or at the end of the walk if using the recommended parking.

I hope that you find this an interesting variation on the caching experience. For a full list of all FYI caches in the series, please go to (visit link) Do you know of any interesting / informative Information Boards? (I'm sure you do!). If you'd like to contribute to the continued expansion of the FYI series, please contact the Series Owner, Airtomoreira, either via the Geocaching website, or at fyigeocaching@outlook.com for a series number, and some general guidelines on placement and the cache description page.
