PLEASE SEE ATTRIBUTES
This cache is located in the small northside suburb of Artane (Historically Artaine) in Dublin.
There are three stages involved to get you to the cache coordinates and the whole thing should take between 30-45 mins to complete.
Public transport:
If you are getting to Artane via public transport, there are many buses that will leave you a short walk to the first stage of the cache. Take the 15, 27, 27A, 27B, 27X, 42 or 43 to the stop beside Maypark on the Malahide road and get off here.
The 14 bus brings you very near as well. (get off at the Whitethorn Crescent stop on Skelly’s lane and it’s a short walk)
Finding the cache:
Step 1. The coordinates bring you to a large rock with some writing. Take the first two words from the main block of text on the rock and it’s time for some alpha-numerical work. (Your standing in a place that used to be a quarry)
Take the fourth letter of the first word from the last letter of the second word. Call this C
Take the sixth letter of the first word from the second letter of the first word. Call this F
Take the seventh letter of the first word from the sixth letter of the first word. Call this E
Take the third letter of the first word from the eighth letter of the first word. Call this B
Take the third letter of the first word from the last letter of the first word. Call this D
Take the first letter of the second word from the first letter of the first word. Call this A
53°23.009, -CCF°DA.BEF
Hold on to the letters and corresponding numbers for the next stage.
Step 2.
You will find some information written here that includes years. Using some of these will lead you to the next phase of this multi cache. (Only use the years along the side, not the one in the text)
Take the year that is second from bottom away from the bottom year and minus 131. Call this XX
Take the last three digits in the first year away from 400. Take the last digit from the second year from that. Call this G
Get the third digit of the second year. Take away the first digit of the first year. From this minus the third digit of the last year. Call this K.
XX°AA.BKA,-CCF°DA.GBC
Stage 3. To find the coordinates for the cache container use the hint at the coordinates you have just worked out.
Feel free to leave Trackables/Travel bugs etc as the cache is big enough. Please don't leave any spoilers in logs or pictures.
Happy hunting.
