Geocache Description:

A one-redirect number puzzle.

At the posted coords you will find a giant replica of Linda Thom's Gold Medal.

You will need to adjust the minute portions of the posted coords to point you to the cache GZ by doing the following 'math in the field':

Let the number of horses minus 1 be 'A.'

Let the number of heads on the reverse of the medal plus 1 be 'B.'

Let the number of heads on the reverse be 'C.'

Let the number of feet on the reverse times 2 be 'D.'

For the new North coordinate; (B x C) + (B + C). Add your result to the posted coords to get the new North minutes.

and

For the new West coordinate; (7 x B) - (A + D).

Subtract your result from the West minutes to get the new West coordinate.

This is a small traditional cache in a green decon container. Trades need to be small and flat.

Extreme caution is advised as muggles of all kinds abound in this area!!

For this cache, most direct access can be found at N45 23.347 W075 40.767, where there is plenty of street parking. The number 1 and number 5 buses also stop right at the entrance to the start of this cache's location.

Cache contents

  • My usual mini geo-swag.

You will also find a logbook and a pencil.

Please ensure you hide the cache exactly as found. Lots of evidence of wildlife in the area. Enjoy.
