Geocache Description:

You will first visit the unmarked grave of the greatest drummer England ever produced. This is not a hard multi, but will require an afternoon of driving.

Go to the coordinates listed and sit on the seat dedicated to the greatest drummer ever to come out of England. Stand up and face the plaque.

Ignoring the dates write down the length of the seven words:
A length of word 1
B length of word 2
...
G length of word 7

Then look over the plaque 23m away and look for the sleeping angel and an unmarked grave (near 51 39.644N 0 30.330W). Mick's body is there.

Now go to:

ED DB.EB8 N
0 00.000 W

(A few hours drive north.)

Face south and look for the four word sign beginning with the national drink.

Write down the lengths of the four words:
A length of word 1
...
D length of word 4

Now go to:
52 2B.8B8 N
0 5.9CA E

(15 minutes away near a nice tree. Do watch for nettles. Not too many but be careful.)

Additional: Since placing this cache, technology has improved and I notice a few users are using google earth to solve the puzzles. Whilst this is understandable, you are missing out on some cool things. For example, the middle point is right on the E/W meridian. This is designed to test your GPS device. Some don't handle it! And it's not far from the final destination either.

Also, I live in Australia and so cannot maintain this cache. So a thank you to all who have kept it alive - please keep doing do. The cache is rarely visited and needs some good TLC upon discovery.
