Geocache Description:

A very easy multi, with the final just a short walk from the published coordinates. BYO Pen.


The Boatsheds

The boatsheds along Ngapipi Rd, in Hobson Bay, were built in the 1930s. They are currently protected as a site of cultural heritage. If anyone would like to add more info about them, please do so in your found log.

The Cache

At the published coordinates you will be standing in front of 2 boatsheds. In order to find the cache, you will need the numbers off these boatsheds. The number of the boatshed on the left, we'll call A, while the number of the one on the right we'll call B. Note: A is greater than B.

Now you'll need to do some simple maths, so take the final three digits of the published South coordinate, and we'll call it XXX, and likewise the final three digits of the published East coordinate, YYY.

All other digits of the coordinates for the final cache are the same as the published coordinates... So, you'll now need to take a stroll to:

S ?? ??.SSS
E ??? ??.EEE

where SSS and EEE are calculated as follows:

SSS = XXX + (8 x B)
EEE = YYY + (6 x A)

Happy Caching!
