Gassenhauer zum GST3

The cache has been set up at the occasion of the event cache 3. GeoStammTisch für Ober-, Mittel- und Nord-Hessen.

There are three different routes from the start to the final cache.
Each of the three routes will lead you to two intermediary stages which will provide you with information needed to assemble the coordinates of the final cache.
To obtain all required information, it suffices to follow two out of the three routes. You might want to consider following the third route as well, either as a return way or as a nice manner of extending your walk.

You can leave your car at the following coordinates: N 50°48.120' E 08°46.375'

The cache hunt starts at the coordinates: N 50°48.219' E 08°46.317'
At the starting coordinates you will find 20 digits which will be referred to by the letters g, h until z. These digits are essential for obtaining the coordinates of the auxiliary stages of the three routes (details are given below).

The final cache can be found at the coordinates N 50°48.ABC' E 08°45.DEF'

The auxiliary stages provide you with the digits A up to F.

Route 1

The auxiliary stages of Route 1 are W_1.1 and W_1.2.
 
The auxiliary stage W_1.1 has the coordinates N 50°48.ghi' E 08°45.jkl'
Within a distance of 8 meters from this stage there is a sign which provides information on a sight in white letters. The digits A and F are obtained as follows:
A is the sum of the second and the third digit of the first year mentioned on the sign.
F is the third digit of the other year mentioned on the sign.

To arrive at the auxiliary stage W_1.2, go irt meters from W_1.1 into the direction hsy degrees.
At this stage you will find two further digits required for assembling the final coordinates.

Route 2

The auxiliary stages of Route 2 are W_2.1 and W_2.2.

The auxiliary stage W_2.1 is located at the coordinates N 50°48.mno' E 08°46.pqr'
Within a distance of 20 meters from this stage you will find an unexpected date of a year on a house (as a check: the crossfoot of this number is 19).   Using the year the digits A and E are obtained as follows:
A is half of the sum of the first and the second digit of the year.
E is the difference of the last two digits of the year.

To arrive at the auxiliary stage W_2.2, go xql meters from W_2.1 into the direction kqp degrees.
At this stage you will find two further digits required for assembling the final coordinates.

Route 3

The auxiliary stages of Route 3 are W_3.1 and W_3.2.
 
The auxiliary stage W_3.1 is located at the coordinates N 50°48.stu' E 08°46.vwx'
Within a distance of 10 meters from this stage there is a sign indicating several distances for cyclists.   The digits E and F are now obtained as follows:
E is the middle digit of the sum of all distances.
F is the middle digit of the largest distance. 

To arrive at the auxiliary stage W_3.2, go nus meters from W_3.1 into the direction wys degrees.
At this stage you will find two further digits required for assembling the final coordinates.


We wish you a successful cache hunt!
