Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are not for the cache and you don’t need to visit that location. If you solve the problem correctly though, you should be within 1 mile of the posted cords. You will be looking for a small click lock container stashed with a few small goodies.

There is car parking adjacent to the final location. We are divided in our view whether this cache could be accessed safely by a wheelchair user. We would welcome your views but in the meantime have classified it as not wheelchair friendly.

On meeting Team SP we had a chat about their Top of the Pops series of caches (GCY180, GCY176, GCXRB2, GCXQ5E & GCXPBT). The discussion led to the question of “what about the 50’s?” In reply they have given us kind permission and full encouragement to lay a 50’s cache. As TOTP didn’t start until the 60s we have named this appropriately. In exactly the same way as for the previous TOTPs, crack the anagrams to reveal a 50’s song title, research the highest official British chart position that song reached, and then transpose the numbers into the final cache location. Good luck!!

A = LUKE PUT A STILE WISE

B = RISE FLAG FOR TABLE

C = CAT CALL HANG A FIRST

D = GRUNT NEEP

E = C A HANGING

F = BEACH BUM HEN STRAY THERE

G = WE DRILL THIMBLE HE WEEP

H = SAY A LARGE ROUTE ELLIOT

I = NIGHT JAR SULK IN A TWINE

J = CELIA MINE STAR

Final location will be N51° AB.CDE W001° FG.HIJ

Check sum = 57
