Geocache Description:


SideTracked Porthmadog

Porthmadog is an intermediate station on the single-track Cambrian Coast Line – one of the most scenic railways in the UK.

In 2024, a new artwork was installed at Porthmadog station to celebrate the town’s connection with the railway. This is where the posted coordinates will take you.

To find the cache, you’ll need to use what can be seen on the artwork to help identify the missing numbers from the final coordinates:

 

N52° 55.ABC W4° 08.DEF

 

Porthmadog

A = Number of sheep

B = Number of trains

C = Number of white bottles in a crate

 

Cambrian

D = Number of stops shown between Pwllheli and Criccieth

E = Number of stops shown between Barmouth and Harlech

F = Number of lines in the poem

 

Best of luck!
