The stated coordinates are to the entrance of Romsey War Memorial Park. Remember to take some bread for the ducks (and for the fish who will rise for this as well). There is a good playground in the park, a small 'tea shop' that may be open, and it is a good place for a picnic if the weather is nice.
The park doesn't require any specialist footwear, but the walk to the final location may be muddy.
There are lockable gates at the two entrances to the park, but no signs up indicating the opening hours, and nothing obvious on the TVBC website - you should not assume that the park will be open 24/7.
You will need walk around to decipher the following:
- A = Glory be to God for dappled things
- B = The spider spins his silky web
- C = Softly flows the Test
- D = The River Test serene and calm
- E = The sunlight filters through the trees
- F = Can I see another's woe
- G = What is this life if, full of care
- H = They shall grow not old
- I = I never saw so sweet a face
- J = When I describe the world I live in
- K = Between the woods the afternoon
- L = The memorials stand high in the park
- M = Yet if you forget me for a while
- N = Go gently, child of Romsey and go far...
- O = A truth that's told with bad intent
- P = A beech, a cedar, and lime
- Q = Where'er you walk
- R = Is it enough for me to contemplate
- S = Rising most, swans fly
- T = If sunlight fell like snowflakes
The final cache, a small clip-lock container, can be found at:
N50° (A+B).(C-D)(E-F)(G-H) W001° ((I-J)*(K-L)).(M-N)(O-P)((Q+R)-(S+T))
To check if you have worked out the final coordinates correctly, the checksum of ALL the individual digits in the coordinates should total 35.
