Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE CO-ORDINATES ABOVE

About the series:
The theme of the Mercator Projection Series is locating a cache by projecting from a point or points some distance away. Having an interest in maps and navigation etc. might be an advantage.
The MP leader board can be found on my public profile.

A reflection:
3^2 = 9
3 sides and 3 vertices, 2 reference points, Mercator's Projection no. 9.
In nature and numbers, simplicity, yet beauty and complexity, not by chance but created.

Have an Explorer with you when embarking on this challenge.

For this cache there are just two simple clues:

157 BY 107 OVER 414
COSIGNS TRACK PUB DOH!

Congratulations to Schoolfrenz for solving it with lightening speed and getting the FTF bright and early the morning after it was published. It was of course very meaningful to find MP no.9 on the 9th of the month, or was it just random?! Well done also to Mcwomble and Gillywig for their quick finds, obviously it wasn't hard enough, or they're all smart.
