Geocache Description:


Every four years February has 29 days, and as a celebration of this extra day in 2020, we have placed a cache in a place that for some time we have wanted to visit. We have seen this cupola from the M3, so we went to investigate, and left a cache behind. You will visit a number of interesting spots in the neighbourhood, and should be able to complete the short walk to complete the cache in around half an hour or so. This is an easy multi, and we are aware that you might be able to guess at waypoints, but that would probably make the cache harder, not easier, and you might miss some interesting spots. Access may be an issue after dark, so daylight hours recommended.

STAGE 1: The coordinates will take you to a plaque and cross by Holy Trinity Anglican Church.

a) if the plaque mentions the year 1929, your next stop is waypoint A

b) if the plaque mentions the year 1937, your next stop is waypoint B

c) if the plaque mentions the year 1948, your next stop is waypoint C

 

STAGE 2: At the next waypoint, enjoy the view and look for a sign.

d) if the sign has the number 5191, your next stop is waypoint D

e) if the sign has the number 5193, your next stop is waypoint E

f) if the sign has the number 5195, your next stop is waypoint F

 

STAGE 3: At your next waypoint, look for the plaque with donor information. Count the number of words in each line. There are 5 lines, so let these numbers be V (number of words in top line), W (number of words in second line), X (number of words in third line, phone number being one word), Y (fourth line) and Z (bottom line).

You will find the final at:

S27º 29. (V) (W/Z) (W/Z)

E153º 01.(VxY) (V) (Z+Y)
