Helpful Information (Virtual Stage)
N 51° 31.106 W 003° 05.129
Welcome to Hendre Lake Park. There used to be boards all around the park with some interesting information. This first board would tell you how big the whole park area is in hectares (ha), but they've been removed for maintenance some time last year and not re-appeared.
 
So, without the boards in place
 
A = The number of round supports directly connected to the underside of where the display board would have been.  Include the short ones on the sides, but not any that only connect the ground to other supports.
 
From here, the bridge you would need to walk across to get to answer B is closed, also for maintenance, and there's no sign of it being repaired.  Therefore you should currently look for clues in the order A, F, E, D, C, B!
 
The View (Virtual Stage)
N 51° 31.018 W 003° 05.244
Time to take in the view over the lake. There are some steps to climb though - how many are there?
B = Number of steps minus 9
 
Time for a rest (Virtual Stage)
N 51° 31.003 W 003° 05.318
There are some concrete cubes here, you could sit on and take a rest.
C = Number of blocks here plus 6
 
The Lake Margin (Virtual Stage)
N 51° 31.087 W 003° 05.396
About 200m from the blocks is another information board. At the water's edge you'll find more information, this time on the flora and fauna around the lake. Have a look at the pictures and see what you can see!
D = E multiplied by F
 
Not the Peninsular - a time to reflect (Virtual Stage)
N 51° 31.065 W 003° 05.320
This stage used to be on the peninsular, but this is now a conservation area so has been moved.
More concrete cubes, and some memorial stones.
E = The number of granite memorial stones, plus half that number again.
 
Keeping Fit (Virtual Stage)
N 51° 31.156 W 003° 05.221
Final stop here to gather the last digit! This board showed that some people like jogging around the lake. Don't let them hear you say that as they are Runners not Joggers! There was a phone number on the information board...
 
F = The number of information boards here, multiplied by the number of flagpoles, multiplied by the number of litter bins

 

The final location is at N 51 30.ABC W 003 05.DEF
