Geocache Description:


We have all heard about “The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs”. A cottager and his wife had a goose that laid a golden egg every day. They supposed that the goose must contain a great lump of gold in its inside, and in order to get the gold they killed the goose. Having done so, they found to their surprise that the goose differed in no respect from their other geese. The foolish pair, thus hoping to become rich all at once, deprived themselves of the gain of which they were assured day by day.

There is now a golden acorn hidden at about head height on a large tree. Will it grow into a golden Oak tree and produce numerous other golden acorns? Only time will tell. What is known is that it has to be handled very carefully to give it the time to grown into a majestic oak.

At the listed co-ordinates you will find a list of numbers (ignore any fractions).
Using these numbers, if H=A G=B P=C N=D and C=EF,

The cache can then be found at N 53 21.UVW W 003 08.XYZ
Where: U=E+F, V=C+E, W=D/A, X=A+C, Y=F/B and Z=B+D.

Handle with care! Either unscrew/open in place or remove with its attachment.
Do NOT twist the container on its attachment – it will break!
