tech17: Afraid there is still working ongoing where my chirp has been disturbed (and gone for good methinks) so back to the drawing board!

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at this location. These co-ords are for the new Worsley Garden & Pet Centre. There is a Garmin Chirp transmitter here which can be used to reveal the final co-ords for this and the nearby Watch the Birdie GC2KMNA. This will allow you to skip the following music questions.

This is a cache & dash double if you have used the Garmin Chirp details or if you've done your homework. This one is a small turtle cache containing a FTF badge and some unwanted Christmas cracker gifts.
To find the true co-ords you will have to find numbers mentioned in the missing song titles from the following UK chart hit singles. List them in descending order and you should come up with a familiar 13 digit number. i.e. the first two will be 5 & 3, the 8th will be 2.

1. Stranglers in 1978

2. Eddie Cochran in 1960

3. Rolf Harris in 1969

4. Sheena Easton in 1980 with ? to 5

5. John Lennon in 1975

6. Gilbert O'Sullivan in 1970

7. The Browns in 1959

8. Del Shannon in 1963

9. Splodgenessabounds in 1980

10. Brian Hyland in 1960

11.Hazel O'Connor in 1980

12. Commodores in 1978

13. Laurie Anderson in 1981

The Guinness Book of UK Hit Singles is a boon here but so is the internet!
The public footpath from Worsley Garden Centre to the Bridgewater Canal is temporarily closed due to major pipeline work so I've placed a waypoint at the Moorings.

Congratulations to the Walker-Clan for FTF!!!

Congratulations to Glyn for FTF the hard way!!!
