Geocache Description:


This short multi-cache exploring Jacob's Ladder Beach on the outskirts of Sidmouth, Devon, is part of the Life's a Beach series started by heartradio in 2016.




Jacob's Ladder Beach is at the western end of Sidmouth. It mainly consists of pebbles, but at low tide there is a large expanse of sand and plenty of rock pools.

The pebbles are legally protected, as it is actually an offence to remove them.

The beach is accessed either down the slope from the road or via the level millennium walkway from the main Sidmouth beach, or by descending the wooden steps (Jacob's Ladder) from Connaught Gardens.


In order to find the cache, the following information needs to be obtained from the listed waypoints:-

     Stage 1.
          The number, in a very small typeface, at the bottom right-hand corner of the sign is 12/AB
                 
     Stage 2.
          The number of steps in the first flight of Jacob's Ladder = 1C
          The number of beach huts on one side of the path = 1D

     Stage 3.
          The year that Peggy Mackintosh died = 19EF

     Stage 4.
          You would have to travel back 2GH million years to see this lost world
          

                    Checksum:    A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H=38


The cache is located at

N50°   F(H-F-A).HF(C+D)'
W003°   A(C-D).(E-A)(G+H)(B-G)'


PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LEAVE ANY PATHS, OR CROSS ANY FENCES, TO FIND THIS CACHE
