Geocache Description:


Golf in Portugal

The Algarve is a golfers delight with around 80 golf courses and academies scattered along the Algarve region, with some of the best courses in the Lagos area. The first golf course appeared in the 1920's in between Portimao and Praia da Rocha, but didnt have greens made of grass, lack of fresh water meant that the 'greens' were made from sand and oil! The first proper golf course opened in 1966 at Penina, just a few kilomatres away from Lagos, and was designed by Sir Henry Cotton, who enjoyed the later years of his life in the area, and could be seen on the course with his caddy, his clubs draped over the back of a donkey!!

Meia Praia Beach

This is a wonderful long, flat beach, with views out to sea, and along the coast to Alvor and Portimao, (east), and the rocky coastline from Lagos to the Lighthouse, (west). There is no golf course here, but there is lots of beautiful sand!

The Cache

The cache is not at the published location, you need to solve the puzzle to find the co-ordinates of the cache: THE PUZZLE: Cache is simple to work out. By investigating sentences, seek each value. Even now, dare I say, one number's easily available.....if somewhat frustrating, it's very easy! The cache is located at: N37 06.(A-D)(B-A-C)(C+D) W008 39.(B+C)(B-A-C)(D)

Good luck, happy golfing and geocaching!
