Geocache Description:

The cache is a four stage multi with a little bit of mystery. It will take you on a short tour of the village, which I hope you will find interesting and pleasant.


Ahoghill– from Irish: Achadh Eochaille meaning "field of the yew forest") is a large village in County Antrim. The Diamond forms the heart of the village. Most of the houses are two storey terraces or cottages. The old Church of Ireland graveyard just off The Diamond has many interesting memorials. Ahoghill recently received recognition as Calor Village of the Year 2009/10. This prestigious award acknowledges various aspects of life in the village including environmental improvement. In the Ulster in Bloom competition, Ahoghill has been named as Best Small Town for 2008 and 2009. As a result of this success Ahoghill is through to the Final of the 2010 Britain in Bloom competition and as you can see from the signs, has gone from strength to strength.

In order to find the final cache you must collect the following information :

'A' is the number of settlements indicated in the school name.

Note the digits 'B'& 'C' given in the number of 'fleur-de-lis'shapes on one small gate at the health centre - minus one.

'D' is the atomic number of the element in the name of the local public house in the centre of the village.

Use the formula below to work out the co-ordinates of the Final Cache position. The cache is a small tab box which can be found at one end of the Village. Log, pencil and a few swaps and TBs inside.

Final = N 54 50.(C+D)(A)(B+C+D) W 006 22.(B)(A-B)(B+C)
