The Bridge under the Motorway Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Topazowl: It's gonna be a long time until I can revive this because of the new road. I will look at it once the footpath is clear again and see if it can be resurrected but I can't put new caches out if this is not archived and, as I am now retired, I want to put a few more out.

Geocache Description:

One of the "Bridge Under" series in North Lancashire. All answers can be found very close by - in fact you only need to take a few steps away from the co-ordinates to find the information. This cache, a silver bison tube, is wheelchair friendly if you have a friend with you to go to the hide.

Clues for this cache – the bridge is best approached from the Lancaster (west) side to find the answers: 54º AB.CDE, 002º FG.HJK

A = is the 2nd (or 6th) digit on the metal railing on the slope of the bridge on the south side (C??G??T)

B = is the number of letters painted on the road preceding the bridge

C = is the number of metal bars on the stile

D = is the second number of the speed limit you can see in the distance

E = add together the 2nd and 3rd numbers of the patent for the oblong drain covers

F = number of triangles painted on the road divided the answer to B

G = add together the other 2 numbers that you didn’t use in A

H = add together all 6 numbers of the patent on the drain but use only the first (the tens) number

J = the number of bricks on the south side from pavement to the apex of the triangle that is formed by the slope up to the motorway divided by F

K = how many bridges are there?
