Geocache Description:

This cache started life at "GC15RYZ The Mother Cache" and is one of her many babies. This one's flown along way from North Wales whence she came and landed in the delightful village of Great Bowden, south Leicestershire. The coords given denote the middle of the village green and not the actual cache location!

Holly did some research before she decided upon Great Bowden, as indeed, there are so many delightful villages around Northamptonshire, Rutland, and of course, Leicestershire.

In order to find this cache, Holly would like you to do some research too. You'll need to do some digging, the answers to which will be readily available on the web.

A) Whilst today, Great Bowden's population is said to be around 1,000, what was the recorded population in 1086? The answer to this is AB.

B) In what year did Great Bowden get it's first streetlamps? This equals CDDE.

C) The village hall was erected in 19FG.

D) There are two pubs in Great Bowden - The Red Lion and the X of Y. The number of letters in Y equals H. The first word of the pub name has been deleted (hence, X) else you could have easily guessed Y!!! To reiterate, no. of letter in Y=H.

The coordinates work out as:

N 52 29.H (D-E) (G+C)
W 000 54.(H+C-F) A (B-A)

Where she finds herself is within a small public bridleway, lined by trees. Please be careful and watch for muggles, as this is a dog walking route and there is a house at one end of the path within perhaps 100yrds. However, it is relatively muggle free and there is no great need to wander too far off the path.

If arriving by car, then please note parking is not recommended near GZ - your car will be noticed for sure. Instead, would suggest you park at The Green or along Main St or Leicester Lane - without giving too much of a clue!!
