When we saw this bridge, we couldn't resist doing a multi for it. As nearby caches were too close, it couldn't be done as a normal dash and cash, so the only way to bring this delightful bridge to other geo-cachers attention and enjoyment, was to place the final cache co-ordinate in a very appropriate place within the area. We hope you are as surprised and as appreciative of this structure, as we both were.
Go to the listed coordinates and gather the following information to work out the cache co-ordinates:
A. Nuumber of creatures depicted on one complete ornamental bridge panel.
B. Number of planks on the whole of the bench-seat nearby.
C to F. Unfortunately, within a week of checking on this memorial plaque, where a name had to be found, it has been removed. So, a clue has now been given: The forename that was needed, has the same name as our former Prime Minister, Mrs Thatcher. Label the letters in this name 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on, then record their letter values.
C. 7th - 2nd name letter values = ____
D. 1st - 7th name letter values = ____
E. 8th - 6th name letter values = ____
F. 4th + 5th name letter values = ____
Do the following calculations, to find the cache co-ordinates:
N51 (D / C) (E x C) . (B - E) (C + C) (B + E)
W002 (A / C) (B+C+E) . (B - (A/D) ) (F) (C + E)
N51 ____ ____ . ____ ____ ____ W002 ____ ____ . ____ ____ ____
Co-ordinate checksum = 51
The Little Bridges series was started by Stanthews in 2009 to highlight small footbridges in remote parts of Wiltshire. Since then the series has been expanded by others all over the country and starting to spread fast, Damian from Winter Foxes has created and updates a list of cachers who has found 10 or more little bridges and can be found here, if you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan here and he will give you a number for your bridge, to qualify, the bridge must be a foot bridge too small for vehicles, please make sure your title exactly matches “Little Bridges # xx then name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to Damian’s list.
