Caragh Lake Letterbox Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Juergen1313: After much thought, I have now archived all of my caches. Unfortunately, the caches were repeatedly destroyed and had to be repaired with a lot of love and work. I have no desire to see and endure this destruction again and again. So the caches go into the archive and that's it.

Geocache Description:

The first Letterbox is the Start and end point of some caches around Caragh Lake, a beautiful lake in Country Kerry, Munster

The letterbox will bring you to Caragh Lake, one of the most beautiful and gorgeous lakes in Ireland. Around Caragh Lake you may find some caches situated at lovely places. The starting coordinates of the letter box can be found in Killorglin near the river Laune bridge:

Start at N52°06.390’ / W009°46.965’ and there you will find a date. Take the year of this date as ABCD.

At 52°06.387’ / W009°46.904’ within the town of Killorglin you will find a marker with three numbers of days. Add the three days, the result is E.

The letterbox may be found at
N52°04.xxx --- xxx = (E * (A+B)) + (20*D) + C
W009°50.yyy --- yyy = (B*B*D) + (7*E) + 9

The coordinates for the key to the letterbox can be found on the top of the letter box, a compass and distance measuring equipment is very helpful but not required. The distance mentioned on the top of the letter box is measured from the letter box to the key.

Please note from start of this cache to the actual letter box you will have to cover quite a distance, it would be hard on foot but not impossible. I recommend using a car or a bike.
