Geocache Description:



The Tempest is a mystery cache located on the Raad Ny Foillan coastal footpath between Port Erin and the Calf Sound. The coordinates given are for a parking place at the start of the footpath, next to the old Marine Biological Station.

The coordinates of the cache can be found in the text of The Tempest by William Shakespeare.

Before you decide that you need some knowledge of the play to attempt this cache, let The Bard reassure you.

And make us lose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt.
