Everyone knows that having rodents in places where food is stored or prepared is a no-no, but still those cheesy little villians try it on...
Last week in Cheesyville, five mice met with untimely ends after chancing their luck in search of a morsel. Details are sketchy, but I can tell you that:
1 The five mice were: Itchy, Stuart, one who met his end in the warehouse, one who got caught in a mousetrap and one whilst attempting to score some Red Leicester.
2 The mouse who received the electric shock wasn't in the warehouse and wasn't nibbling Red Leicester.
3 Neither Danger nor the mouse at the cheese shop were poisoned.
4 The cheese was nibbled in the house the day before one of the mice failed to dodge a stray boot, which was the day before Mickey had his accident.
5 The mousetrap wasn't in the house.
6 Mickey wasn't the mouse who received an electric shock (which happened on Thursday).
7 It was Jerry who scored the Cheddar.
8 The mouse that ate the Wensleydale, who isn't Stuart, and who wasn't caught in the mousetrap, had his accident on Friday.
9 The mouse who ate the Edam met his end the day after the mouse in the cheese factory.
Verdict: Death Through Misadventure
To help you on your way with solving this puzzle, I can tell you that:
A = Wednesday
B = The letter which occurs both in the name of the mouse at the cheese shop and the cheese he was eating
C = Number of Es in the location where Thursday's incident occurred
D = Thursday
E = 1st letter of the cheese which was nibbled at the warehouse
F = Numbers of Rs in the cheese Stuart ate
G = The 7th letter in the location where Mickey met his end.
H = The 3rd letter in the name of the mouse who was after the Brie
I = The 4th letter in the means by which Stuart met his end
J = 1st letter of the day on which the restaurant incident occurred.
What you do with them from there, who knows? There... That's not too sadistic, is it???
Cache is a 2 litre lunchbox and has been placed in accordance with accordance with Forestry Commission and GAGB guidelines.
Please ensure you do not block forest gates and that you are discreet when accessing this cache as a path is not far away. It is sometimes a bit like a motorway, especially on Sundays, though at other times very quiet.
This cache is suitable for cyclists. The terrain rating is mostly based on the distance and reasonably well packed pebble path (from the recommended parking). It does undulate a bit, but is pretty clear of potholes. The approach to the cache from the path is flat and reasonably clear of debris. There is one of those forest gates with the sideways handle thingies to negotiate at the beginning. I have put OK for wheelchair users however the distance and type of path would make good fitness and an all-terrain chair handy.
Being in the New Forest, it's only open in daylight hours. That should be fine for those of you who like to cram in a cache before work... Hahaha...
Have fun!
