Geocache Description:

The above co-ordinates are NOT the cache location. You'll have to go here first to get the final co-ords. The cache site is away from the civilised amenities where wellies or your very finest disposable walking boots are the order of the day - depending on the time of year. It's just over one mile from the car park with a final uphill approach. Dog and children friendly but your dog has to be on a lead for some of the way - and perhaps your kids as well if they're anything like ours were!

For the military geobuffs out there in cyberspace, the cache is hidden in a 10.5" x 7" x 3.5" NATO 200 cartridge 7.62mm for machine gun M60 ammo box. The cache hunt starts at the free car park west of the dam and there's an excellent garden centre, adjacent to the car park, specialising in fuchsias for the enthusiasts. There are lovely walks, wild life & scenery, a visitor centre, toilets & local pubs. The hunt, in our opinion, takes you via some great views and you can take in the circular walk on the way back to the car park to make the most of your visit.

The final co-ords are N52.A0.2BC / W001.18. D0E

At the given co-ords you'll see a 'phone number below the white cross. Use this to work out the following:
co-ord A = half the value of the 9th number
co-ord B = the 9th number itself
co-ord C = the speed limit you've just walked by - minus 1
co-ord D = how many visitor centres you've just walked by
co-ord E = the sum of the 3rd & 4th numbers
have fun!
