Geocache Description:


One day Yasmin, Tom, Robert, Edward, William and Quinn went out for a walk beside a forest stream. They had made this walk many times before but today was different than most days, as today they had been caught in a storm! The wind was howling and the rain seemed to be coming in all directions bar straight down.

They were hastily making their way back to the shelter of their van when they came across a giant tree that had fallen down across the track. The only way past was by stepping of the track and bush-bashing around the windfall.

They all carefully stepped off the track and slowly made there way around the windfall and back onto the track, or what they thought was the track that they were originally on. They didn't realize anything was amiss until they turned a corner and laid their eye's upon the castle.


Little did Yasmin, Tom, Robert, Edward, William and Quinn know that this was no ordinary old castle, this castle was once called the fortress!! They all stood there staring at this ancient structure, when Quinn piped up "lets go check it out!"

They all thought this was a great idea and on they went. The old castle was much larger up close than when they first spotted it. They giant front doors were hanging off there hinges which then made just enough of a gap to squeeze through. It took a few minutes for them all to make there way into the castle, and a few more minutes for their eyes to adjust to the dimly light foyer. The only light available was from small slits in the windows high above them. That's when they saw it! Laying in the middle of the floor was what looked like an ancient scroll. Tom picked and blew the dust of it and handed it to Yasmin to have a look. She gently unfurled the scroll and it was covered with numbers. Yasmin turned the scroll over and on the back there was some words, "The Fortress treasure can be found at....".Can you help them figure out what the numbers mean, so they can find the treasure?
