Geocache Description:

Naissaar - the largest island of North-Estonia (Swedish – Nargo, German - Nargen). Island is the same size as Estonian capital and located about 10 km north of Tallinn. Cache is hidden to make you walk, explore and survive.

Since Tsar times Naissaar has been designated as a military stronghold for the defence of Tallinn and St. Petersburg. Military constructions notably changed the face and the nature of the island. The fascinating ruins of the island will bring you back in time when lives of the people did not cost anything. During the hunt you will discover coastal batteries built more than 100 years ago as well as Soviet era fortifications. 

After two day expedition as a proof of being there, our hide team left a present – cache. It is dedicated to people who made these monsters and stay there forever. 

Your task is simple- in each next WP you must find a combination of black painted letter and number.  Number you should to remember and letter you should use to project next WP. So you use this method until last WP. In the start coordinates you must use letter N to project next WP. Finally you will have sum of all numbers. Add to the sum of these numbers three (+ 3) and presume this as ABCD. Projection table is listed below and it is not in sequence.

Use ABCD to calculate coordinates of final container. 

Set your GPS settings to:

·         North reference – GRID

·         Bearing - Degrees or Mils

·         Distance – meters/kilometres

As the letter F may be in private property since 2019, you can skip it. Value is 16 and next letter is I.
 

The final cache can be found at: N 59° 3J.OP8 E 024° RV.Z37
 

After you have visited all the waypoints, you will get the final sum which will be ABCD. 

You have to use number ABCD combinations: A+B, B+C, C+D, A+C, B+D and A+D. If the sum is one-digit number or 10, then it is OK. If the sum > 10, you have to count the numbers until you get one-digit number.

The upper row of the table is your Sum. The right column of the table is your letter combinations. When you cross those values, you will get a number that matches the letter of the left column.
