Geocache Description:

The above co-ordinates are for the 'Daisybank' carpark and not the final cache. From here you'll have a brisk climb up Leckhampton Hill to find the actual cache.

 

Thought you had finished playing those parlour games with the relatives over Christmas? Well think again…………

Below are the names of some well known people and animals hidden in the pictures in the grid (some are pretty convoluted!) Once you have worked out the names in column ‘A’ you should find a name in column ‘B’ which can pair with an answer in ‘A’ (e.g. you might find the name of a pop singer in each column to make a match). Rearrange column ‘B’ so the answers are opposite their matching partner in column ‘A’. (The picture is attached to this web page below so you might find it clearer opening it from there)

 

Once you have all your correct answers on the correct rows you will need to take the initial letters of the names (they could have 1,2 or 3 initials) and convert them to a number from the grid below….

Now add the numbers together for each complete row to give you a final number for rows A), B), C), D) and E).

Finally put these numbers into the coordinates below to find the final cache position.

N51 ° 51.( A)(B)(C)

W002 ° 04.( B-D)(E-B-C)(E)

 

That’s all there is to it! Good luck.
