The
wykenwizard and his accomplice,
Auntie Clockwise, usually hide caches with a simple puzzle to
solve and the caches are generally pretty easy to find. This
one, however, may be more challenging.
The puzzle is still
quite simple, but from then on it gets a little more difficult.
There is another stage to solve before you get the co-ordinates for
the actual location of the cache. Even the cache itself will not be
easy to find. You are warned that the camouflage makes the cache
very difficult to spot. It will be wise to remember that it is all
in the title.
This is a multi
cache. Solve the
following clues, which will take you to a safe parking spot for
stage one.
N52,
then:
1. In which
year was the Falklands War? (4th
digit)
2. Mount Godwin-Austen is
better known by which name?
3. In Greek mythology who was
Apollo's twin sister? (No of letters)
4. What number does 'storm'
equate to on the Beaufort Scale of wind
force? Subtract 1 from
your answer
5. How many
pockets does a billiard table normally have?
W001, then:
6.
XL
7. What year did
the Channel Tunnel between Britain and France
open? 3RD digit
8. How many humps does a
Dromedary camel have?
9. What
type of fruit is a McIntosh? (No of letters)
When you arrive at this destination you will
find the means to work out the co-ordinates to find the final
cache, which is the usual air and watertight container within a
camo bag, though this time a little
more craftily hidden. You have been warned!
N52,
then:
a)
Left hand top multiplied by 5 plus 2
b)
Left hand bottom on its own
c)
Bottom right minus 8
d)
Middle bottom minus 9
W001,
then:
e) Left hand top on its own
f) Top right minus top
middle
g) Top middle added
together
h) Left hand bottom on its
own
i)
Middle bottom on its own.
It is only a short distance to a safe parking
spot close to the final location, (it is possible to walk, but the
road is busy and could be dangerous especially for children) You
are advised to drive there for safety reasons. The walk from this
parking area to the cache site could, if necessary, be done after
work in a suit and shoes!
GOOD LUCK !
