An easy multi introducing the Yorkshire village of Gilling West.
Parking is available at the co-ordinates above (N 54° 26.470 W 001° 43.168).
The cache is at N 54° 26.ABC W 001° 4D.EFG
Collect numbers as you walk around the village to reveal the site of the cache. If you need them, waypoint co-ordinates are shown below, however, after the first one just head north.
1) St Agatha's Church
A fine traditional village church with an interesting churchyard.
The co-ordinates will place you between 2 gravestones. The repaired gravestone commemorates John Moor who met a particularly sticky end. The details are hard to read but are etched into the front and back of this stone.
Thanks to Mrs Grizzly for getting the text on the stone:
"Unto the mournful fate of young John Moore,
Who fell a victim to some villain's power,
In Richmond Lane, near to Ask Hall, 'tis said, -
There was his life most cruelly betrayed.
Shot with a gun by some abandoned rake,
Then knock'd o'th' head with a hedging stake,
His soul, I trust, is with the blest above,
There to enjoy eternal rest and love;
Then let us pray his murderer to discover,
That he to justice soon may be brought over."
Opposite him lies Jane Savers who died on 2x October 17y5. G=y-x
2) Farmhouse
A particularly impressive building which might appear to have an ecclesiastical origin. Despite its name, it is not quite at the end of the High Street. It was built in 18 B 9
3) The old school of the village.
It has been converted to private residences.
It was built in 184F.
(Return south on the other side of the road)
4) An attractive row of estate houses.
The last one is number xy. D=x-y-2.
5) The village green was revamped to celebrate the Millenium.
From here you can see A arches of the bridge spanning Gilling Beck.
6) The village blacksmith lives at number xy.
E=x/y.
7) The village hall was built in 193C.
It is more substantial and more frequently used than many of its kind.
You can now calculate the final co-ordinates which will take you to an aid for travellers which proved to be less precise than your GPSr.
Look closely to find that its data is inaccurate to the tune of 180 degrees!
