The Ultimate Danger Zone Challenge

Hi, this is Max and I need your help.

My dad's an explorer and he's gone missing. I think he's in real trouble. And I've got to find him.

He left me a note which I don't really understand, but I think there are 5 clues pointing to markers on a map which unlock a password.

Scrawled at the bottom of the page was this sentence:

Abul al-Hol gazes west near 3 equilaterals

I think this might be a clue to the first marker, but it doesn't seem to mean much to me. I'm stuck out in the middle of nowhere, and I've only managed with a bit of luck to get this message out so I haven't been able to search Google yet. Maybe that'd help.

I've got my dad's fieldnotes, and if I find anything to solve these clues I'll try and get back to this location and post them on www.ngkids.co.uk, so check this out if you get stuck.

My time's run out. There's a huge sandstorm coming, I have to find somewhere to hide.

Good luck!
Max
