Geocache Description:


I have placed this cache in the lovely village of Cockington (where I also have an Adventure Lab to take you round the places of interest). It can be busy at certain times of year (especially in the summer) so stealth is required when retrieving the actual cache. Parking can be found in the village itself (pay and display) or around Vicarage Road area and walk down into the village. 

There are plenty of other caches to enjoy in the area so make a day of it and enjoy.

To find the final you need to read the sign at the start and obtain the numbers relating to the following information:

N 50 27. (The Drum Inn)(Cockington Church)(Lower Lodge)

W003 33. (The Forge minus The Rose Garden)(The Mill minus The Drive)(The Old Schoolhouse minus The Arboretum)

Checksum for values above (not including the numbers given) = 27

We are often told (correctly, if somewhat ideologically), that geocaches should take us to somewhere "interesting", and not simply be placed just for the sake of it. The aim of this series is to try and adhere to this ideal by basing caches around details given on an Interpretation Board about the area in which it is situated. By definition, it is hoped that this information will be "interesting", and will help the cacher discover things about the area that would often not be revealed by a traditional cache.

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

I hope that you find this an interesting variation on the caching experience. For a full list of all FYI caches in the series, please go to https://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?code=BM4RZ8H
