Church Micro 9566... Althorne - Methodist Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

nathanjhunt: I hadn't realised this one had so many DNFs. Seems like it has gone missing. I never really liked the final hide or the ambiguous calculations. Time to go.

Geocache Description:


This cache is located in Althorne, Essex.

To find this cache, you will have to visit the village sign on the green to work out the coordinates. View the sign from the side the coordinates take you (West). Only count one side! The first stage is to find the value of G, but you can probably guess this one without having to visit it. 

The Primitive Methodist Chapel in Althorne is a former place of worship. It suffered from declining congregations, and is now used as a house. IT IS PRIVATE RESIDENCE, so please do not search the building, and respect the owner's privacy, thank you.

The final location is a walk away from the village sign along a narrow pavement. Cars drive fast along here, so be careful. I don't recommend driving to the final location, as there is usually a lot of traffic on the roads, and it can be difficult to cross from the parking location.

The cache can be found at: N 51° G.ABC E 000° 45.DEF

A = Number of churches on the sign
B = Number of men on the sign
C = Number of letters comprising the word on the sign
D = Number of ships shown on the sign
E = C minus D
F = Number of plants below the cloak, plus number of lateral lines on the tracks, plus number of shoes shown
G = The speed limit here, plus 10 (you can probably guess it)

A to G will add up to 67 if calculated correctly.
