Geocache Description:

  • A quick multi-part Cache which kiddies should be able to enjoy.
  • The two inital locations are around Kew Green
  • The given coordinates are those of St Anne's Church on the Green.

The final cache location is also nearby, has a cafe, and is full of historical interest.

Parking is not easy in Kew but during daylight hours the Retail Park in Kew off the A205 South Circular is as good a place as any, if you cant find a spot around the green.

The first two clues take place at N 51 29.X and W 0 17.Y where X is less than 50 and Y is just less than 200. The only other clues I will give you are the pictures below.


The cache is at N 51 A.C , W 0 B.C

To find A: find the differences in their dates of birth and add it to the differences in their dates of death, then double the result

To find B: work out the difference in their ages when they both died and add it to three times the difference in their dates of birth

C = D * E

To find D: take the longer lived person's year of birth from the year that the other stayed in Kew and reduce by one

To find E: take the difference in their years of death and add one

[ You'll know you have the right C if you realise you may C one above you - not difficult in Kew ]

The cache is a green biscuit tin
