Geocache Description:


This series of 7 caches is for all the Harry Potter fans out there; who like us, are a bit sad that it’s now all over.

It doesn’t matter if you are not a Harry Potter fan, as all the puzzles can be completed without any in-depth knowledge. Most puzzles should be solvable by young fans – with the exception of #7 which will need a bit of maths knowledge.

Once solved, the caches make a circular walk of about 3 miles, and 2 church micros can be picked up on the way round. Parts of the walk can be muddy (especially between 5 and 6). Bring a pen and tweezers.

Harry Potter #6 The Half-blood Prince

In the Half-blood Prince, Harry is convinced that Draco has become a Death Eater and is planning something dreadful. This does seem to be the case when Draco confronts Dumbledore at the top of the Astronomy tower; however, it is someone else who steps in to complete his task.

As a result of this the Dark Mark appears in the sky above the castle.

To find out where the Dark Mark is answer the following:-

What is the number of the Hogwarts Express? ABCD

How many Hogwarts houses are there? E

How many Deathly Hallows are there? F

What number Grimmauld Place? GH

How many tasks in the Triwizard Tournament? J

Cache can be found at North AD. (J-F)H. (F-G-H)(H-D)B   East (E-J-G). (B-A-E)(C+H). CC(E+G)
