All the clues and the final micro lie within or on Chester city
walls. It is designed to give visitors a quick tour of the city but
at the same time draw attention to one or two lesser known sights
that locals may not have noticed.
The co-ordinates above are for Gorse Stacks car park. Anyone who
knows the city will know that parking can be difficult, there are
other places available and this is not necessarily the best for any
of the clues or the final location.
You have to find six digits to complete the final co-ordinates
which take the form:
N53 11.abc W002 53.def
Clue a - N53 11.585 W002 53.575
(London – Bristol) – (Worcester-Ludlow) = a
Clue b – N53 11.535 W002 53.483

Clue c – N53 11.308 W002 53.287

which is a 35mm film container and please ensure that the container
is carefully replaced in its hiding place.
