Geocache Description:


*The reference coordinates are not to be used as the cache is NOT hidden there*


Meelick Round Tower

I am fascinated by numbers and found this nice virtual listing N 53° 55.000 W 009° 00.000 with so many zeros. I was unable to place a cache there. So, using the unique 'round tower' numbered virtual coordinates as a starting point you will need to use Round Tower information to get the coordinates

How high is Meelick Round Tower (in feet) = A 

How high is the doorway from the ground (in feet) = B 

This tower was restored in what year? = C 

How many round towers are there in County Mayo = D 


Use the virtual coordinates above and then do the calculations as shown:

For North

55.000  plus  (C/D) - (A/B) – A 

For West

00.000 plus ((A + B) + ((A/B)xD))) x B
