This cache is part of the series Exploring Epworth. The series includes four traditional caches, and this the final puzzle cache where the clues are found as you complete the circular walk around Epworth. The walk is about 3 miles long, and takes approximately an hour and a half. The paths may be muddy in wet weather and require strong footwear.
The order in which to do the caches is as follows:
Exploring Epworth Low Burnham View,
Exploring Epworth Dead On,
Exploring Epworth Windy Beacon,
Exploring Epworth Pinewood Studios,
Exploring Epworth Stairway To Heaven.
In Epworth there are several little teashops, pubs that serve good meals, and the Lemon Tree cafe at the Garden Centre.
To find this cache you will have to answer four questions that may be answered at four locations around Epworth.
A = How many years did a Hotel stand on the site of the Kings Head Croft car park?
B = How many years did the Wesleys live at the Rectory?
C = The palindromic date on the Cemetery Building?
D = The number of trees at the front of Torne Valley Store?
Subsitute the letters for the numbers found by the clues.
N 53* 31.ZZZ W 000* 49.YYY
where ZZZ = 3 x A + D + 20
and YYY = ( Total of digits in C ) + B + a Bakers Dozen.
Extreme stealth will be required as this is a busy area with tourist muggles and doggy muggles.
Good luck with your maths!
Update (July 08): please note that the cache has been moved by about 15 yards as it had been discovered by muggles on too many occasions. Its new location should be a bit more secure.
Update (Aug 2011) The entire gate has been removed and the cache with it, so we have relocated the cache nearby.
