Geocache Description:


This is the third in a series concerning Surrey schools and their famous pupils. The coordinates given are not for the cache, but for another school which has no connection with what follows!

You are looking for a secondary school attended by this pupil (X). The school closed in the early 70's, but you should have no trouble finding it today - the site and buildings are still used as a school (now for younger pupils) and the school's new name is similar to its previous name.

After a promising start at school, a discovery at the age of 9 had a big impact on X's subsequent progress. X went on to an art college, but soon abandoned this and went on to become a legend in their new field.

Approximately 0.75 miles south-west of this school there is a church, where there are several war graves marked with the usual white gravestone. Find the one for an RAF officer, and record the date AB/CD/19EF (in normal day/month/year form) and the officer's age (GH) given on the headstone.

The cache location is at:

N 51 1(A+B+G).(D+E+F)(B+E)(F+G) W 000 (F+H)(B-A).(B+F)(B*F - H)(A+C+D+G)

Please don't leave any spoilers in the log. Please feel free to continue the series with a cache of your own.
