Geocache Description:


A medium eight stage multi, which involves seven waypoints plus the final stage. At each waypoint, gather some information (words or letters). After the final waypoint, calculate the total number for each vowel A, E, I, O and U. It should be possible to complete this multi in 30 minutes. The words can be collected in any order. Please note this recreation ground does NOT allow dogs. There is a play park here for young cachers to enjoy.

 

1. At waypoint 1, which is also the posted co-ordinates, you will see a green and yellow sign. Please note down the name of the recreation ground (three words).   
 

 

2. At waypoint 2, you will see a small sign in the ground. Note down the name of who supplied the trees, this can be found on the second line (three words).

 

 

3. At waypoint 3, you need to do a bit of spying through the trees! Make a note of the name of the restaurant (two words).
 

 

4. More out of the park spying at waypoint 4! Look across the road, make a note of the house name, black sign on the white fence (two words).
 

 

5. At waypoint 5, you will see a notice quite high up. Make a note of the two words on the first line below the oval logo  (two words).

 

 

6. At waypoint 6, admire the sundial. Make a note of the first four words written around the top of the sundial. The second and fourth word are the same  (four words)

 

 

7. At waypoint 7, look carefully at the memorial, please note down the month at the bottom.  (one word)

 

                                        

There is a memorial bench here, if you would prefer to do your calculations sitting down.

 

You should now have collected 17 words in total. Please count the number of EACH vowel and note this down. Checksum = 29.

 

The cache can be found at
N51 25. (I+U) (A+I) (A-U)
W00 42. (E-A) U O

 

In the brackets in the formula above, they are all letters that have been used. Please note there is a minus sign in both the northings and the westings.

 

You are looking for a natural container. Please take care it is homemade.
