Geocache Description:


King of Hearts: What do you know about this unfortunate affair?

March Hare: Nothing.

Queen of Hearts: Nothing whatever?

March Hare: Nothing whatever!

Queen of Hearts:[shouts]That's very important! Jury, write that down!

Driving down Main North Road many times, I’ve always been intrigued by the monument with an anvil on, and always assumed it was connected with a blacksmith.

In fact it commemorates a site of a Horse-Tram depot, and is now a depot for the local council. Along with the anvil there are also pieces of original tram track on the monument.

A surprisingly pretty little area with some lovely trees, next to the roaring Main North Road.

The cache is located a short hop away at:
S34
° 52.ABC + MH
E138
° 36.XYZ + MH

Where:
A=Number of words on the fifth row – Number of words on the eighth row.
B=Third number on the eighth row.
C=Fourth number on the eighth row.
X=Number of “Q”s on the plaque.
Y=Double the number of words on the third row.
Z= Double the number of words on the fourth row.
MH=The number on the tram on the lower plaque.

Enjoy
