Geocache Description:


The above co-ordinates are for about 6 PARKING SPACES.

From the car park head East to the first waypoint at:

N51' 49.391 W001' 14.137

Here you should find two dates in the form:
The Old Almshouses circa A B C D
Tompkins Terrace A E F 5or3(i think)

Once you have these numbers head Northish through Middle Way to the second waypoint at:

N51' 49.436 W001' 14.173

How many houses make up the cul-de-sac known as "Hilltop gardens"? second digit is G

From here follow the road down the hill to the third waypoint at:

N51' 49.472 W001' 14.062

The fire hydrant has two numbers on it. Both are H

Now you have all the numbers needed to solve this equation and find the cache.

N51' 4((FxG)+A) . (H+D+A) (E-D) ((B+F)/(A+D))

W001' 1((B/F)-D) . ((CxF)-A) (C-D-A+E-B) ((GxH)-B)

Don't worry, it looks harder than it is!
