Geocache Description:


THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE STATED COORDINATES.  Do not look here.  Instead, work out the answer.

If you've found the ten nearby Sows, you are ready to find the boar!  Work out the answer then enter it into the app or the website to reveal the true location.

The Meandering Boar

Shown here is Dain Ironfoot riding his war pig.  But he's become lost on his way to the battle of the Five Armies.  Can you help him work out where it is?  If you paid attention to the geocaches you found, this will be simple.  The coordinates are:

N52 51.(Bird)0(Acorn) 

W002 13.(Bolt)(Bolt)(FirstHangingThing)

I hope that's clear...

So write that down and then if you are using the app, look for the 'waypoints' section of this geocache and add a new waypoint.  Type in the numbers you just worked out and off you go!  Yup - just along there, you'll be fine.

Anyway, I wouldn't argue with Dain's warpig. Given in the movie Dain (a dwarf!) is played by a 6-foot tall Scot, that pig is not something I'd cross in a hurry!
