Geocache Description:


Three Hundred SixtyNineth in the Famous People (FP) Series - John Steed

Steed was born John Wickham Gascoyne Berresford Steed in the mid-1920s. A distinguished veteran of World War II, Steed served in the Intelligence Corps and received the Military Cross for single-handedly taking a German machine-gun post. Before leaving the British Army to join The Ministry Steed achieved the rank of Major.

He maintained a modest flat in London during the 1960s and drove a variety of elaborate, old-fashioned cars, including a Rolls Royce and several different models of Bentley, one of which he calls Fido.

One of Steed's trademarks was his impeccable dress, often consisting of a stroller with Bowler (or Coke) and everpresent umbrella. Steed's umbrella, with its distinctive whangee handle, was known for containing a sword, though there were other versions, including one that featured a sound recorder. The bowler was metal plated and very hard, it could stop bullets and knock down opponents.

While caching in the Hillcrest Cemetery during First Monday, John and Emma make a gruesome discovery. Someone has hidden a CMD (cache of mass dnfs) near the grave marker of Florence Steed. They must find it and log it, thereby posting a smiley and destroying their arch enemy DNF. How will they MATCH up against such an evil villian as Dr. Hyder?
