Geocache Description:


Note: As all this area was devastated by a (small) hurricane in 1992, it is sometimes difficult to understand what part of the park is public and what other part is private. In any case, you should conform to local injunctions, if any.

Waypoint 1

Go to N50 51.641 E 04 30.709 and park your car around there.

You will find a large war monument with the inscription "Op wacht zullen wij blijven".
On this memorial there are four dates engraved; calculate as follows:

  • A= sum of the first digit of each year
  • B= sum of the second digit of each year
  • C= sum of the third digit of each year
  • D=sum of the last digit of each year

(example: the dates 1830-1831-2000-2003 would return A=1+1+2+2=6, B=16 ,C=6 , D=4)

Waypoint 2

Willem van Oranje will show you the way to N50 51.XY7 E 04 30.WZ9

  • XY = B+D-A
  • WZ = (5*C)+D

At this place, look for tag that will give you the value of N

Waypoint 3

Go to N50 51.PQ8 E 04 30.RS2 (as this is the bridge, you cannot miss it !)

  • PQ = (2*N)-C
  • RS = B+C+D

You will find the coordinates of the cache hanging exactly in the middle of the (NE side) bridge rail.
This is the most tricky part of the search... be careful !


(only the last part of the coordinates are written: the first part is N50 51.xxx E04 30.xxx as for all waypoints)

Waypoint 4 (the cache)

You are looking for a regular amnobox placed within a big hollow tree. Good luck!
