Geocache Description:


NO THROUGH ROAD

Well, I have found that my car, Suzee`  Prime detests such things. She prefers to travel through, and hates being stopped by a mere sign. So when we saw this one today - I left to explore beyond, whilst Suzee` sulked at the Parking Coordinates listed here.

I found a fence, a gate and signs saying not to go any further. 

The Fence is held up by vertical round poles - counting both sides let X= the number of round poles (fat and thinner, and some short - but not the one that doesn't go to the ground). It is an even number.

The Gate has some vertical slats so let Y= the number of vertical slats (don't count the right-hand edge as that's not a slat). It is an even number

On the gate is a Sign made up of three letters and two digits. If A=1, B=2, C=3 etc then let Z= the resulting five digit number. I will refer to this below as Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5 to indicate each digit in order left to right

Now grab a calculator or your high school math memory and work out:

SOUTH is S28°  (2*Y)/X  .  (Z1) (Y-X) (Z3)

EAST is E153° (Y/2)+Z5  .  (Z4) (Z2+Z3) (X-Z1-Z2-Z3-Z4-Z5)

The walk is about a kilometre downhill, and then you have a kilometre uphill afterwards. It's not a hard walk, but it's not flat. Wear shoes.
