This cache is one of a series placed showcasing the beauty of nature.  The cache is not hidden to be difficult, and the terrain is fair-going, but rather enjoying cycling in nature.  When placing the cache, I saw a lot of game, and a few muggle-vehicles.  Set aside 5-6 hours for the route.  ENJOY IT!!

The cache:

This multi cache is not difficult, you just need to be aware where it start and to see all the waypoints.

 

At the start you find a beacon - there is 2 numbers (use the bottom one)

Stage 2 - the full name of the farm (where a=1, b=2, c=3, etc)

Stage 3 - there is 2 numbers (use top one)

Stage 4 - there is 2 numbers (use top one)

To get to the final coords, you need to calculate the following:

 

S 25 AB.CDE   E 028 FG, HIJ

A = (number at start minus 903)

B = (first letter of farm minus 21)

CD = (add last 4 letters of farm, then plus 20)

E = (how many beacons in the stages)

FG = (full value of farm name minus 72)

H = (stage 3 number minus 3)

IJ = ((stage 3 multiply stage 4) minus 46)

 

Please BYOP.
