funkymunkyzone: Letting this one go. Maybe one of Groundspeak's top contributors can put a cache here instead - it will be way better than I can do for sure.

Geocache Description:


Remember me my love
I'm the one you're dreaming of
Going for a ride
I'll keep you warm inside

I'm Gonna roll up the sidewalk
I'm gonna tear up the ground
Comin' round to meet you
The long bay round

Sooner or later
I'll get me off this track
Gotta do what it is that I do
And then I'm coming back

Got sun in my face
Sleeping rough on the road
I'll tell you all about it
When I get home

Gonna roll up the sidewalk
I'm gonna tear up the ground
Comin' round to meet you
The long bay round.

To find this cache you first need to work out the coordinates, as follows:

S 36 40.ABC
E 174 44.DEF

A = The day in May of the end of the leg to Ulaan Bataar, minus 20.
BC = The day in April when they started their journey, minus 1.
DE = The day in July when they arrived in New York, multipled by 2 and then plus 9.
F = The number of "exhausting months of intense preparation" before leaving London.

Before leaving home you can check your answer here. Satellite coverage is not great at GZ, but GPS should get you within 6m. Cache is about 4m from the track and is under a natural roof.

FTF!!! kiwifeet
