This is a fairly easy multi-cache.
Starting off at St Andrews Church, Compton Dundon.
Park outside (room for 2 or 3 cars) and go into the Church (it's always open).
Answer the following questions:
How old is the Yew Tree? = ABCD
(See certificate on wall near Font)
Now back in the car and head for:
N 51° 05.586 W 002° 43.804
How many letters on the house name plate?
Answer = E
You should be able to get this information without needing to stop and get out the car, keep eyes left as you drive past the memorial down the lane, to avoid confusion the name has 2 words and begins with a "W"
Now off to the cache site which is a short distance away at:
N 51° 05.B(E-3)B
W 002° 43.(E-6)(B+2)(A+B+C+D+1)
Now, why Hoorah Henry?
Well, if it wasn't for my Great Great Grandfather, this cache wouldn't exist (probably).
MY GG Grandfather - Henry Norman, Lived in the late 19th century and died 1937. Most of his life was spent in Compton Dundon as a Cider Apple farmer.
We believe the house he lived in with his family is the one which you will get the answers from the nameplate (E).
Henry is also buried at the Church with his Wife.
So, when you have found the cache, let out a cheer and shout "Hoorah Henry!"
Cache is a camouflaged 0.4L screw top container.
