Geocache Description:


In Dumbravita, since the last couple of years, you can see the urban expansion in full action, with one new building popping up next to the other. People moving away from the city, as well as from the country-side, are looking for places to build a home and live here. But for geocaches, not much of an expansion is to be seen yet. Therefore I decided to place a short straightforward 3-step multi cache here, where you can observe the urban expansion in all facets.

Firstly you can drive to the given coordinates and leave your vehicle parked there.

Next you can commence your short walk to WP1, and take note of the name of a famous Danish author, most known for his fairy tales. Take his last name (8 letters) and note for:

A = letter value of the 1st letter + letter value of the 4th letter of his name

B = letter value of the 3rd letter + letter value of the 7th letter of his name

C = 2x the letter value of the 1st letter of his name

Letter values are determined from a=1 to z=26.

Continue your stroll to WP2, where you will note the name of a famous British author, most known for his work "The Jungle Book". Take his last name (7 letters) and note for:

D = letter value of the 1st letter of his name

E = letter value of the 5th letter of his name

With all the values now collected, you can find the final hiding location by making a projection of ABC meters and DE degrees, out of the place where you have left your vehicle (ie. from the given coordinates of the multi).   

Take a moment to observe the surroundings, and how mankind is eating up the open space.
