Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the published co-ordinates.

This is a series of 9 caches located along a section of the Trans Pennine Trail near Formby. TPT Music 1 to 8 are puzzles involving music of the 60's and 70's that need to be worked out before you go.

To identify the north co-ordinates you need to work out which three songs I am referring to. Each song has three clues, the first refers to the group/singer, second is the song and thirdly the number within the song. Once complete you will have three numbers - Variable A, B and C. Now carry out the calculation given within the section. This should result in a number between 000 and 999.

To identify the west co-ordinates you need to work out the name of the 3 album covers. Taking the first letter of each album use the chart below to identify its corresponding number. These three numbers should then substitute the published west co-ordinates.

  • How confusing, two of the band started off as confederates, the lead singer made a detour and the drummer with Samuel Clemens’s nom de plume.
  • You’re looking for a song about a girl whose forename and surname start with the same letter. She was forbidden to go somewhere by her father.
  • The number of stitches multiplied by the time she arrived multiplied by the time the place was swinging to the music is Variable A

  • This band was originally named after popular woollen shirts of the time. The brothers, cousin and school friend were surprised and angry to find that someone at the record company had changed it on their first single to one they are known by today.
  • The song your looking for is the type of car Harrison Ford drove in American Graffiti.
  • What she’ll do with the top end floored is Variable B
