Geocache Description:

Located in Coole Park just off the N18, 3 Km north-west of the heritage town of Gort in County Galway.

Coole Park was once the home of Lady Augusta Gregory, dramatist, folklorist and co-founder of the Abbey Theatre with Edward Martyn of Tullira Castle and Nobel prize-winning poet William Butler Yeats. Coole Park, in the early 20th century, was the centre of the Irish Literary Revival. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, John Millington Synge and Sean O' Casey all came to experience its magic. They and many others carved their initials on the Autograph Tree, an old Copper Beech still standing today. Although the house no longer stands, one can still appreciate the surroundings that originally drew so many here.

This is a Multicache with a Literary Twist. Using the formulas below and clues from the first cache, you will be able to arrive at the final coordinates. Use one of the park trails to get within 50 feet of the cache.
