Geocache Description:


This is Village Water Pump No.18 in a growing series of caches highlighting a domestic necessity of our past for fresh clean drinking water.

This pump is in the village of Longdowns in the civil parish of Stithians, an area of granite quarries, some active, some unused.

If you wish to take a short walk to the final there is a footpath leading to it, the path can be muddy and slippery at times, if driving it can be cache and dash'd, don't wear your best shoes though.

At GZ

a = Max Speed

b = Wooden Slats on Bench

c = Number of Letters in the Colour of the Water Pump

d = Number of Letters in Second Word on Green Sign

e = Number of Benches

f = Bolts on base of Water Pump divided by 2

CHECKSUM = 32 

The final can be found at N50 a.(b-b)(b+e)(d-b-f) W0005 (d+e).cd(f+f)

There is a small lane next to the water pump with room to park briefly. Give us a wave in the nearby office if we're here laugh
