Geocache Description:


Another Broadstone Scout Group Geocache! Enjoy! (#5)

♣After taking our Scouts out looking for geocaches to see how its done, they were challenged to make their own!
To tie in with our recent upcycling themes, they had some rules; they had to be home-made from whatever they had lying about-  (so no purchasing off of the net) and they had to be interesting!
We're proud of what they came up with! Hope you have as much fun finding them as we did making them!

Bearing With Us - Our first mystery cache

To complete this puzzle you will need a little scouting skill with a compass (or a suitable compass app)!

♣Take a bearing of the Geocache "The Lookout" from GZ and halve it to get answer A
♣At GZ there is a sign. From the sign take the number hidden in a word on the third line, and multiply it by the last number digit in line 6 to get answer B
♣Next take the first digit in line 9 away from the fourth digit to get answer C
♣Divide B by C to get D and add it to A
This will give you another bearing to walk on to find the cache.
♣Reverse the digits in answer B to give you the distance in metres for the cache.
Go find the cache!! Walk the distance B on the bearing you worked out...

**UPDATE - the sign has been removed! It appears the GZ is a hot bed for things disappearing. :/
I have posted a photo of the sign below, please use that while we wait for the sign to be replaced***
