Geocache Description:

A cache near an atmospheric Cornish tor.

This is a straightforward offset cache at Helman Tor in the middle of the county. The tor is 680ft. high & on a clear day you can see the tors of Bodmin Moor to the north east. Away to the south west lie the artificially sculpted peaks of St Austell`s china clay mining country. Closer to Helman Tor are the nature reserves of Redmoor and Breney Common which are both well worth exploring.

At the coordinates given above you will need to look for a small inscribed metal plate. The bottom line on the plate consists of a letter "S" followed by a four digit number.
The last digit plus one = answer "A".
The third digit = answer "B".
The first digit = answer "C".
The third digit minus the last = answer "D".

The cache is at N 50` 25.AB3 W004` 43.CD4

The cache is not on the main body of the tor but is hidden a short walk away. You are searching for a 1 litre plastic box.
