Geocache Description:

This is a short multi whereby you may learn about some local history .You may also like to take the Children (something to do in half term) as they might also enjoy absorbing the information.

You can park very close to Waypoint 1 if you choose but the on street parking has parking meters ( £1 for 1 hour). The traffic wardens do patrol very frequently – YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!

You can do this cache at anytime but I would not recommend going into town at night time.

The above co-ordinates are for Waypoint 1 NOT the cache.

Go to N52 22.486 W001 15.632 read the information board and answer these questions substituting the letters for the correct numbers.


Question 1 – In what year was he born ? AB8C


Question 2 – He won D prizes at school.


Question 3 – He was best known for his Sonnets in which year ? 191E


Now go to N52 22.510 W001 15.745 and answer these questions in the same way.


Question 4 – In what year was his death ? 199F


Question 5 – In what year was he born ? 19G7


Question 6 – On what date in April was his invention tested in a factory in Rugby? = H


Now you have all the answers you just need to work out the formula below for the location of the cache.


N52 (HxD-D).E(C+D)(A+B) W001 (B+C).C(D+G)(B-F)


You are looking for a small camouflaged clip lock box which contains a FTF badge and certificate, log book and a few swaps to get it started. Geocaching stealth may be required.

CONGRATULATIONS ON F.T.F crwjdt :o).
