Geocache Description:

It's "The Great 'Great Orme' Orienteering Trek"! TGGOOT!
There's you thinking its a Dutch title or something!
This is a Multi-Cache walk around the Great Orme. There are afew nearby cache you may want to go for as you walk around

Sturdy footwear / decent trainers required. You should be able to do this in under 4 hours which is only an afternoon on one of the most picturesque parts of Llandudno! (some people have said they've done it under 3 hours.) The cache may take slightly longer if you attempt all the nearby caches on route. But just think of all the caches you will get!! Most of the walk can be done on footpaths, and where you tramp overland, it will be on open access land. If you're unsure, take an OS map with you! The cache is a large ammo box.

Parking is available all around Llandudno and the starting point for this multi-cache is at Happy Valley. The very nearest parking to the starting point is available at N53 19.781 W3 49.710 Please check the Tariff.

However, Free parking is available at N53 20.079 W3 51.000 which is about half way and maybe better if you carnt complete i one visit, you will have to walk further to the start point.

Well done Mathematical Warrior. For you to have reached this far, you must have used the numbers correctly. Now you must hone your skill for the co-ordinates of the final cache.Anyone should be able to get this. I've only a GCSE in maths and I wasn't in top group. So all you O levellers should find it a doddle! :)

((P*Y)+Q) DEGREES ((Y*Q)-(2Q)) . (T+(T/2)-(5*Y)-Z)
(X/Z) DEGREES ((B*B)+Z) . 0 (P*Q)+(B-K)


You've worked out the algebra - Well done

This will take you to the cache and the surprise!

You need to write in the log book to get this cache! Please bear this in mind for when I check the log book, I will be ruthless and remove found logs on the cache web page that are not in the log book. This could be important if you want certain caches to be your milestone caches.



Feel free to refer to a 'surprise' in your logs, but please don't let others know what the 'surprise' is! Let other cachers find out for themselves!
