Geocache Description:


The above co-ordinates are for reference only!

The above Co-ordinates are not the exact location of the cache and are for reference only, however they will get you to the road-way track entrance of the Car park. You must first complete the Sudoku Puzzle below to obtain the correct co-ordinates that will lead you to the actual cache.

Access to this cache is best approached from Enfield, enter the track on the western side of the Canal & RR line, the RR Line and Canal should be always to your left. This track will lead you to a car park and picnic area.

Enfield is located in Co Meath somewhere. I suppose you can get to it by using the N4 from Dublin via "Kilcock town" heading westward, or from the West via "Kinnagad" heading east on the same road (N4). There is also a Train Service to the town from Dublin's Connolly Train Station. If you're a good swimmer you might like to use the Royal Canal, however I would recommend a Barge if you intend using the Canal.
Now then, if by-chance you find yourself on the M4 Motorway, which by-the-way is Tolled, currently Euro 2.50 a pop, you can request a "Receipt / Pass" from the Tollbooth operator or by pressing the "Receipt Button" on the self service booth. The "Receipt / Pass" enables you to leave the Motorway at Enfield  for a couple of hours and then re-enter the Motorway and continue your journey, it works in either direction.

Enfield:
So a little bit about Enfield or Innfield. What can I say about Enfield that has not already been said?
Hmmmm, not a lot. I'm trying to think was there anything ever said about Enfield apart from it being one of the biggest pains in the arse of motorists trying to transverse the country for years until it was bypassed. They even bypassed the bypassed?
Anyway I got the following from the good people at goireland.com

"The history of Enfield is closely connected to the history of transport throughout south Meath. In the 1790's, maps denote the site as "A New Inn", later "The New Inn" and eventually, Innfield. This derives from a mail-coach inn on the 18th century Dublin to Mullingar coach route. The Royal Canal passed through Innfield also, and with the arrival of the Great Western Railway the name became anglicised to Enfield." and that's it? Unless you know better?

Sudoku:
Well you know how to play Sudoku? Right!
Wrong! Oh there's always one, ok if you just landed from somewhere within the outer-limits, point your browser to this link: Sudoku.com and the nice people there will give you the low-down on what to do.



The Co-ordinates
N53' xx.yyy
Where "xx" = (B3xJ12)-(G3+L8) and"yyy" = (K5xH8xB9)-(E11xG10xF6+C11)

W006' xx.yyy
Where "xx" = (L9xD1)+(G8xJ6) and "yyy" = (B5xJ4xK4)-(H2xE6+C5)

Calculate within the brackets first, then add or subtract accordingly. Good Luck!
You can e-mail me to confirm the co-ordinates you get are correct.
The cache container is a camouflaged Ammo-box.
