Geocache Description:


For information regarding this Museum and Park please visit Cliffe Castle Support Group.

The Header co-ordinates would have you in the neighbouring Devonshire Park where you might find an earthcache.

This puzzle takes you to six of the multitude of other castles dotted around Yorkshire. To solve the puzzle you'll need to identify the castles then do some sums (not too difficult!)

  The Final is at N53° S.TUV W001° W.XYZ

 S = (Dx(C-E)) S =        W = ((BxE)-(F/B)-E) W =      
 T = (D-E) T =   X = (B/F)-(D/13) X =      
 U = (A-B)+1 U =    Y = (D-C) Y =      
 V = (D-F)+(C/A) V =   Z = (F-E) Z  =      
 N 53° ____________________  W001° ____________________
x means multiply / means divide

 

(Checksum S - Z = 125)

 

28/10/2019 ; Re-engineered to allow for one or two VERY small swaps/TBs. The method of entry should be within the scope of the average cacher and the necessary tool is built in to the cache.

 

Please be aware that there is a Park Run every Saturday morning. The park will be busy until lunchtime at least (or, if I'm taking part, sometime next week!)

 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
