Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of caches to celebrate the Greenwich Meridian as it passes through East Sussex.
An obelisk marks the spot where the Meridian Line leaves the south coast of England (United Kingdom) to cross the English Channel.

Peacehaven is famous for a number of things, Grace Fields lived here, the town started life as prizes in a draw, it's very windy and it straddles the Greenwich Meridian.

The above co-ordinates will take you to an Oblisk where you will find the answers to the following simple questions. The actual cache is a 35mm film container which is just a few minutes walk from here, please ensure it is put back exactly where you found it as this place gets very windy at times.

The cache is hidden at:
North 50 AB.CDE
East 000 00.0FG

Where:
A The number of letters in the town that represents Arabia
B The number of letters in the surname of the mayor of Peacehaven in 1984
C The last digit in the distance to Hongkong
D The number of 'L's in the surname of the person who laid the stone in 1936
E The numbers of letters in the surname of the founder of Peacehaven
F Number of letters in the country where Valetta can be found
G Number of letters in the country where Pietermaritzburg can be found
Whilst here, take a bracing walk along the cliff tops or the steps to the beach.

Please ensure the cache is well hidden, there is a lot of passing traffic here.
