Geocache Description:

A puzzle to solve, followed by a short walk to a place with a great view.

There is nothing at the above co-ordinates but the cache can be found within 3 miles of them. You will need to work out the co-ordinates in advance and then it’s just a short walk along a well-defined path. The cache is a 1 litre lock’n’lock plastic container. Parking is available 300 metres south of the cache. It is possible to drive within about 10 metres of the cache but there is nowhere to park on the road at this point and the cache would not be easy to access from the road anyway. The car park is on the opposite side of the road to the cache, so please be careful when crossing it and don’t get run over!

When you have solved the puzzle, the co-ordinates will lead you to a place with great views of 20.

The cache is at:-

N51 13. (Sole minus Wight) (Shannon minus Biscay) (Fitzroy minus Plymouth)

W003 43. (Faeroes minus Irish Sea) (Dogger minus Forties) (Portland minus Humber)

Where Viking = 1
South East Iceland = 30
And Trafalgar is not included

The check sum of all the individual digits in the co-ordinates is 48
