Little Bridges #2864 - Tonedale
To find the cache you can park up in the car park next to the Water Works using the coords given below. From the car park you will need to follow along the footpath through the double gates to the woodland and find the track using the Trailhead which is also given below and this will then lead you to the Bridge.
At the Bridge you will need to collect some info and do some simple maths which will allow you to obtain the correct coords to find the cache.
# The number of Footpath plaques minus 1 =A
# The number of letters in total on one of the Footpath plaques, you will need to substitute the numbers for B C
# The number of horizontal metal bars on the larger gate minus 1 =D
# The number of diagonal metal bars across the larger gate =E
The cache can be found at: N 50 (A+B)(D+B).(D+A)(C+B)(D+E) W 003 (B-A)(D-B).(BXB)(C+B+A)(D-E)
Checksum of all digits of the final coordinates =63
Whilst finding this cache you will be able to find another cache that we have placed which is our Beauty in Decay #94 Nynehead 3 Arched Bridge cache. (GCAGHDR).
Also you will find another short series of 4 caches in the woodland that we have placed which is called Woodland Bison Trail.
The Little Bridges series was started by Stanthews in 2009 to highlight small footbridges in remote parts of Wiltshire. Since then the series has been expanded by others all over the country and starting to spread fast. There is a stats listing run by Billiethecat, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here:- https://littlebridgesseries.wordpress.com/ . If you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan on stanthews@aol.com and he will give you a number for your bridge, to qualify, the bridge must be a foot bridge too small for vehicles, please make sure your title exactly matches “Little Bridges # xxxx then the name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to stats list.
