Geocache Description:

Close to the riverside walk which links Leamington Spa to Warwick using a short stretch of the Grand Union Canal

We couldn't think of a suitable name for the location so it's named after the quiz that needs to be solved to find the actual location.
The co-ordinates above are for the free car park at Victoria Park which is nearest but you can also park free at Tescos - N52.17.190, W001.33.885 for a stroll along the Grand Union Canal before taking the riverside walk - about 15-20 minutes each way.
To get the co-ordinates you'll need to find the names of cats & dogs belonging to famous people - real & imaginary. As usual it's the number of letters in the names that you will need...

A - Subtract Edward Lear's cat from Alice in Wonderland's cat (this isn't the Cheshire Cat, that would be too easy !)
B - Subtract Jules Verne's dog from Sir Isaac Newton's dog
C - Mark Twain's cat minus 1
D - Bill Clinton's cat minus 4
E - Queen Elizabeth II's first Corgi plus Gillian Anderson's Mastiff
F - Theodore Roosevelt's cat

The co-ordinate for the cache are...N52.17.ABC, W001.33.DEF

We hadn't realised when we first set this up that some people had more than one cat/dog so we've added a link to geochecker. Also if your source for answers gives two words for Edward Lear's cat just use the second word.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
