Geocache Description:

This cache is at an abandoned sewerage works. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A CHILD FRIENDLY LOCATION. PLEASE BE VERY ALERT WHILE LOOKING FOR THIS CACHE AS THE TERRAIN IS EXTREMELY TREACHEROUS

THE PUBLISHED CO-ORDINATES ARE NOT THE FINAL CO-ORDINATES OF THE CACHE. To get the final co-ordinates solve the following puzzle:

Puzzle

 

How many (hidden) mushrooms can you see?

 

Once you have determined the number of mushrooms (value x) use it to solve this equation:

x*62.285  = y (round up to the closest whole number)

x*102.714 = z (round up to the closest whole number)

Now substitute the values for x and y into this co-ordinate

S 26° 3.y’ E 28° 14.z

The container is a rectangular lock ‘n lock container painted in a woodlands camouflage pattern. The original contents were:

Logbook and pencil

Hot Wheels car

Bouncing ball

Some Poker chips

As the terrain is treacherous and “off the beaten track” please exercise caution and be aware of what is going on around you. There is evidence of “undesirables” in this area and rather leave if you feel threatened. I have been at this location many times, while scouting for a cache location, and have had no problem but rather safe than sorry.
