Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

The actual cache is not at the above co-ordinates, although this is a good place to park. It is hidden at S 30.AB.CDE E 151.FG.HIJ To discover what the letters stand for, read below. (The difficulty rating is based on the effort to acquire a copy of the book and read it, not finding the actual cache)

This is the second in a series of caches themed on some great books of all styles, ages and themes.

To find the correct coordinates, you must answer the following questions from the story. (I have included the relevant chapter for each question if you just want to browse for the answers, but it is more fun to be a guest at Netherfield and Pemberley for a day or two instead)

A. Who is the tallest of the Bennett daughters? (Chapter 2)
B. According to Elizabeth, who is always surpised by compliments? (Chapter 4)
C. Who did Bingley dance with first at the Meryton assembly? (Chapter 5)
D. According to Miss Bingley, who despises cards?(Chapter 8)
E. Who writes to Mrs Bennett to ask for a carriage to be sent to Netherfield? (Chapter 12)
F. Who plays backgammon with Mr Collins? (Chapter 14)
G. Who dances the first two dances with Elizabeth at the Netherfield Ball? (Chapter 18)
H. Who does Mrs Gardiner think the more handsome - Wickham or Darcy? (Chapter 43)
I. Who is Elizabeth's third visitor at the Inn at Lambton? (Chapter 44)
J. Who does Jane tell first of her engagement? (Chapter 55)

Once you know the answer to each question, simply replace the letter for that question in the coded coordinates with the number assigned to that person according to the list below
1 = Jane 2 = Elizabeth 3 = Mr Bennett 4= Lydia
5= Mr Collins 6 = Mrs Bennett 7 = Charlotte
8 = Bingley 9 = Darcy 0 = Wickham


Please note: the cache is NOT hidden on or at the prominent building near the parking coordinates, or the stone wall around it. Please enjoy these structures but do not dislodge any stones around them as you will not find the cache and only damage the structures. I wonder if they would mmet with Lady Catherine's approval?

Have come past this way before, but didn't know about geocaching then. GK1 read the book and got the clues and after a false start the cache was in hand! Thanks for this cache.

Wow !! this place is so beautiful. A little bit of old England. Team trailor (AKA Mr Darcey and Miss Jane) picniced under the grove of the trees.
The very literate geowife stumbled with the answers whilst illiterate geohubbie wandered off for a bit of a look around. Geohubbie returned with the cache whilst geowife grappled with the questions. Just goes to show that when all else fails RTFM.(but only then) TNLN

came a long way to do this one. did quiz at home which told us to go a long way away yet the clues indicated that it was much nearby. tried again while there however the coord got us a bit closer there was no cache to be found. maybe a geochecker would be handy for those of us that travell a long way can check it before making such a big detour. thanks for bringing us out this way again.

Finally got the time to do this one. Decoded coordinates were spot on.

We headed out to find this one from Tamworth on the recommendation of a someone Stinker was talking to (who was surprised to find that she knew about geocaching). We had to brush up on our literary knowledge (thanks for the chapter numbers).

Stinker had been to this area before, and so we took the camera hoping for some nice Autumn leaves. The church was lovely, but the other trees are still green.

Thanks for the cache.
