Pole Dance – Sunrise
Short Description
I must be “the only Geocacher in the Village” as Little Britain would have it, otherwise there would have been a cache here before now. Not that I am living in the village presently, but have parental connections and visit frequently from my home in the Algarve.
This is the first part of two or more caches based around this charming village, and hopefully will introduce geocachers to the less frequented paths and views.
Long Description
The given coordinates are NOT of the cache, but of a bridge leading to the village on which this multi-cache is based.
A little homework is required to find the locations of the first two clues.
Clue 1. Check 'A Midsummer-night's Dream' Act III, Scene 2, Line 296
for a keyword on where to park and commence your search.
Q.1 Find the measurement of height. (kl) feet
Q.2 Number of years between 'Donation' and 'Refurbishment'. (mn)
Clue 2. No 'Village Blacksmith' here, but the first line of Longfellow's poem will tell you where to look!
Q.3 When was it planted? (19op)
(Homework over!!)
Clue 3. This village was awarded the “Edyvean-Walker” tree as Best Kept Large Village in Warwickshire on three occasions. The plaques commemorating this are on a wall visible from the location of Clue 1.
Q.4 The sum of the years the award was won. (qrst)
Clue 4. Follow Chapel Street in the direction of the rising sun. You will soon find a Wesleyan Chapel.
Q.5 The number of foundation stones laid. (u)
Q.6 The number of studs in the main door. (vw)
Clue 5. Carry on down the lane. You will see 'Waterside Cottage' with a brightly coloured door.
Q.7 Number of studs in the door. (xyz)
You now have enough information to calculate the final coordinates.
These are: N52° AB.CDE, W001° FG.HIJ
Calculations:
A = 'y'; F = (k-v);
B = (3 x 'o'); G = (l+z);
C = (u+w); H = (m+x);
D = (q+s); I = (n-k);
E = (r-t); J = (w+x+y+z);
Enjoy the walk to the cache. You can 'tak the high road' or 'tak the low road' depending on the viscosity of the path!!
