Geocache Description:

A pleasant stroll around Ascot racecourse, you will be walking between the racecourse and the heath area giving great views of the new grandstands and royal enclosure.
few people realise the heath is open to the public apart from the local dog walkers !
for more information on racing at ascot take a look at www.ascot.co.uk

the coordinates above are for the first clue, solve the 3 clues to get the coordinates for the actual cache which is a small clip lock box with log book and little swops.

The 3 clues are within the racecourse heath area (the centre area of the racecourse) but the final cache is located a short walk outside the perimeter fence.
I would suggest parking near to clue 1, there is a service tunnel which runs under the race course and it is used as a parking area by local dog walkers. (follow the coords for clue 1 and you cant miss the tunnel)
I have marked the 3 access points to the heath area on the map (see photos), these 3 gates have signs saying they will be locked between 7.30pm and 6.30am, I don’t know how strictly the security guards stick to these times but please be aware of the time if visiting in the evening.
Please also be aware that on race days parking will be difficult/impossible but you can still access the heath area on foot if you can find somewhere to park a little further away.
The whole multi cache should take about 1hr, ideal for cyclists and not to difficult with pushchairs.
You can access the final cache without walking on or crossing any of the main roads that surround the racecourse, check the map for the most appropriate gate when you have the final coordinates.

Clue 1 ....what are the missing numbers
1?(A)’ - ?(B)’’
N51 24.907 W000 40.324

Clue 2.... A perfect view of the royal box, fill in the missing numbers
KD ?(C)4-40/S/3?(D)
N51 24.814 W000 40.764

Clue 3 .... Heliport transfer vehicles should keep to what speed
?(E)?(F) MPH
N51 25.097 W000 40.737
PLEASE NOTE.....it seems the sign you need for clue 3 has been removed, some cachers have managed to get the final coords with out the sign but if your stuck the 2 missing numbers are in the hint.

You can assume N51 25.CED W000 40.AFB
