Geocache Description:

A multi-cache which requires signs in the area to be located and answers obtained from them.
Although the cache was placed in winter after some rain, care should be taken on the final approach if heavy rain has recently occurred. The cache is suitable for families, but proceed with caution on final approach.

The instructions are all in English (this is an international game after all!) and we consider it to be part of the puzzle to translate them into French... If, however, you require French instructions, please contact the owner.

You will need to find signs in the area to obtain the final cache co-ordinates.
When you have found your answers fill in the missing co-ords as follows:
N48 19._ _ _
In question order below place each answer from left to right in the N blanks.
Answer to question 5; answer to question 6; answer to question 2.
W002 03._ _ _
In question order below place each answer from left to right in W blanks.
Answer to question 3; answer to question 4; answer to question 1

QUESTIONS:
1) There is a sign seemingly out of place. In English what colour is it? If each letter has the value of A=1, B=2, Z=26; what is the value of the third letter of this colour?

2) Find the map. On the green section, how many times does the second (2nd) letter of the alphabet appear?

3) Observe the information sign regarding the barrage. In which year did "Les vannes ont ete ouvertes courant" occur? You will need the last digit.

4) Along the path from the car park there is a tree with rings cut by wire in its trunk. How many rings are there? Half of this number is?

5) Further along the path there are three (3) directional signs. How many signs point back the way you have just come?

6) How many signs point to Guenroc?

If you have found the answers you now have the correct location!
