Geocache Description:


This Little Bridge is in the Frome Valley, in a very old part of Hambrook at the above co-ordinate.

To find the final cache co-ordinate, some fact gathering must be done at the bridge site as follows:

A. Looking from the bridge a yellow sign can be seen on a huge pipe. How many words are there on the sign?

B. C. At one end of the pipe is a fan of hooked metal rods. How many hooked rods are there?

D. Just beyond the bridge is a telegraph pole. What number comes before the B?

E. F. G. On the same pole there are three digits on the slant. What are they? They equal E. F. G. respectively.

Answers checksum = 39

Substitute the numbers from your answers, for the letters below, to calculate the final cache co-ordinate:

N51 (A) (F - C) . (D - A) (C - F) (D + G)

W002 (F - B) (C - F) . (E - A) (B + A) (D - B)

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 have found 10 or more little bridges and can be found <a href="http://legresley.me.uk/LittleBridges.html">here</a>, if you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan on stanthews@aol.com 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.
