Geocache Description:

This is the sixth part of a circular walk starting in Stoney Middleton, visiting some historic and interesting sights along the way and then ending up pretty much where you started from. There are nine caches in all to keep you busy over a 4ish mile walk. Some of the caches could be cache and dashes, but you wouldn't be doing youselves any favours by not taking in the walk - think about your health (and the environment) and go for it :o)!!!!




This is the only multi on the walk and if you are doing this as the intended circuit then you'll have no need to backtrack.
The posted co-ords will take you to the Riley graves, it's a very sad tale and you will find all the info about it along this stretch of the walk, so we won't spill the beans here!
The cache is hidden at N53* 17.ABC W001* 39.DEF
Using the sign on the right, in time honoured fashion convert the letters from the following.

A = How many letter B's in the first word?
B = How many letters in the familys name?
C = How many letters in the third word?
D = How many words in the 5th and 6th line added together?
E = Same as A
F = The month this sorry tale happened

Once you have worked out where this cache is, just follow your Gps to it - then plug in the co-ords for No.7. Turn right at the bottom of the lane and just after passing Eyam tearooms turn sharp left up Lydgate.
You will pass the Lydgate graves along here and when you reach a fork take the one on the right to Stoney Middleton via the Boundary stone. Good luck!
