Geocache Description:


You 'WILL NOT' find any cache at these co ordinates , but you must visit them to obtain details to work out the formula for the final location.

Please be careful here , especially with small children and pets , as it is a busy location with traffic  here , and you may have to cross the busy road to gain all information required

The D/T reflects both , the busy location , and the effort you may need to put in to complete it.

A note book and pen may well come in handy here too .

The cache contains only a logbook , so please BYOP , and remember , NO SIGNY , NO FINDY

 

 

 

 

The final is a short walk away 

 

At the memorial you need to gain info for the following ;-

1) there are two dates on the main face of it , these dates are ;- 'ABAC' - 'ADAD'  ?

2) behind you is a cream and white painted house front  , there are  'E'  number of windows on the upstairs level  ?

3) there is a white backed plaque , fixed on a boulder nearby , it has  'F' number of lines of text on it  ?

4) now ,across the main road is a building with a green door , and a name plaque containing two words , each word has 'G' number of letters ..

 

Now use the following formula to work out the final location .

 

N53 1S.TUV  W001 2W.XYZ , where ;-

Northings  are  -  S=(B-A) , T=(E+A+A) , U=(F-A) , V=(G+A)

Westings  are   -  W=(F/G) , X=(D-G-A-A) , Y=D , Z=(E-C) 

 

Good luck , and happy caching .
