Geocache Description:


Wickham Wander    

    Wickham Wander is a cache designed to get you hiking around the park over a variety of trails to showcase what the park has to offer.  The listed coords are for the first virtual stage.  There are ten virtual stages (coordinates given) leading you to the final physical stage which contains a logbook and pencil.  The stages have been laid out in a clockwise fashion starting in the NW corner of the Park, but you may do the stages in any order you choose, gathering information (a number) at each one to contruct the coordinates for the final.  The suggested route will take you near many other single stage caches while avoiding routes along the "big white hot sandy trails" in preference to the smaller shady paths winding through the woods with minimal backtracking.  Bushwhacking is strictly optional since all the signs are on the trail.  

    Each stage has an associated letter.  Write down the number you find or create at the stage and plug it into the formula to create the final coords.  With a couple of exceptions all of the stage numbers are large and obvious and all of the stages settings are large.  You can use this template if you print out the cache page, or create you own and fill in the numbers as you go (You do have pen and paper, right?)

 

                                 N 28 A B . C D E    W 80  F G . H I J

                                     N 28 _ _ . _ _ _       W 80 _ _ .  _ _ _

   The stages are numbered in sequence within the limits of the "cache page system" but the letters do not follow that order, so you'll have to pay attention to that.  You may not need to find all the stages to determine where the cache is, heck you may be able to determine where it is based on where everything else is ;-) but if you find all the numbers you should have an easy time with the final.  It's in plain view from the right angle
