| The cache is located in the area of Ménez-Ham, also called Meneham. It is part of the community of Kerlouan at the “coast of legends”. |
Since you are here probably on holidays we didn’t want to make it too difficult. First search a house made of stone between very huge rocks. This is called: la maison au toit de pierre. It was part of a large system for defending the coast and was built in the 17th century on order of Louis XIV.
There you go to the coordinates given above and look for a number carved in stone. This is ABCD. Then you can find the cache using the following instruction:
North: 48° 39.B(C:2)(A+C)
West: 4° 22.DAB
It is only a short way! About 280 m!
If you like you can start by visiting CHAPELLE POL, continue to
POINTE DE BEG POL (a lighthouse) and walk from there at the coast
to Ménez-Ham. There are two beautiful ways: one directly at the
beach and the other above along the dunes.
Please be careful not to be watched and hide the cache carefully
again.
Have fun!
Note on cache maintenance: Since our youngest son is learning French as his first foreign language we are visiting France as often as possible (but only in holidays). We have a friend in Brittany (Plouescat, about 10km away), Madame Quitiver. She knows where our cache is hidden and would look for it, if necessary.
