Geocache Description:

The co-ords above aren't the cache. All the numbers you need are in the passage below... Have fun!

PART ONE

For as many years as I have been caching I have wanted to place one here.

Firstly because I believe it is one of the most beautiful areas on the island,

Haven to some unexpected wildlife and secondly it is very,

under appreciated as most people only look to the water.

Now I finally got round to planting one, next problem was the puzzle!

Some folk don’t like a cache with two difficult a puzzle,

which I understand as there are times they bug me.

This is a rather easy puzzle so it won’t bother anyone to much.

I tried problem setting websites but they only had problems

that wouldn’t really tax the brain at all.

In the end I decided to try my own.

So this is my attempt:

Simon was exactly five years four months and

six days older than his sister.

Victoria was born on the 1st. Jan 1987

When Wendy their baby sister was born Victoria was four.

If Simon is twelve when Wendy was born,

How old's Victoria?

Is this her real age?

I expect everyone is keeping up so far!

Have you been keeping track of the numbers?

Take a break now. Go put the kettle on for five.minutes.

 

Time to start again if you are ready…

I would recap but you should have your notes

Though they might need to be looked over….

 

PART TWO

Families tend to get bigger as the years go by.

So by the time Simon was twenty eight he had,

four younger brothers and sisters.

Charlie had followed Wendy after fourteen months,

Then Thomas who was a bit of an accident.

Wendy was nearly six when he was born..

Now Simon being the eldest all the others looked up to him,

so when in two thousand and nine, Victoria was going

away to university to study architecture in Europe.

There was only one person she could turn to.

This would be the first she had been away from home.

Four years was a long time to parted from her family

Simon took one Monday of work to take her to lunch

Giving her the same advice he had been given.

After lunch they headed two the park.

Loads of people were in the park.as it was so warm.

People from the near by offices were all enjoying a late lunch

They lived ten minutes from the park but rarely visited it.

Simon seemed to think Victoria would be fine even though she doubted it herself.

Victoria needed a little reassurance, the whole family were very proud of her.

She had a good eye for design and had gained eight A levels

They walked near the lake before heading west towards home

Eventually getting in just in time for.

THE END

 

The cache is a large box and is not too hard to find so please make sure

 you replace it really well.... Dreaded muggles are about in this area.
