Geocache Description:

A straightforward multi for which you can drive to the starting point, then walk an easy 5-10 minutes to the final coordinates.

The above coordinates lead you to a car park, where you will need to look around you for the answers to the 2 sets of questions below, which will take you to the final cache site. Take a pen with you to write down the answers to the questions.

The first set of coordinates takes you to an area which can have fairly high numbers of younger muggles during the week, but is pretty quiet in the later part of the day and at weekends.

This is a regular sized cache containing a log book, pencil, pencil sharpener and some swappable items. There is a newly-activated geocoin for the FTF.

Now answer the following questions:

1. Where are you?
2. What do they encourage here?
3. What number of Sunnybrook are you at?
4. What are the black numbers on the nearest power pole?
5. What is the name of the nearest walkway?

Got that? Okay, now for a bit of easy maths:

A = The total amount of letters in what is encouraged.

B = The total amount of letters in the full name of where you are. Multiply by 2 then add 9.

C = The Sunnybrook number – 96.

D = The total amount of letters in the first 2 words in the walkway name – 3.

E = All the black numbers on the power pole added together + 17.

[To check your maths, A + B + C + D + E = 127 in total]

Search for the cache is at the following coordinates: S 41° A.8B E 173° C.DE



Please replace the cache exactly as you find it and take care to cover your tracks after replacing it, so as not to spoil the fun of the hunt for future geocachers. Happy hunting
