The coordinates are not for the cache site. They are for the
(paying) car park in Wylam village. This is a pleasant and popular
village on the Tyne just 10 miles West of Newcastle. It is on or
near biking and walking routes including the Hadrian's Wall path
and Hadrian's Cycleway and its attractions include George
Stephenson's cottage (National Trust) and 4 good pubs.
I keep coming across clues, hints and puzzles when caching which
require knowledge of the popular music scene. Of this I know
nothing. So I thought I would offer a change by setting a puzzle
cache based on classical music and opera, which are my interests.
The answers will require a bit of easy research. You never know,
this might encourage some of you to listen to some of the music
referred to.
The cache is at N54 58.ABC W1 49.DEF and this can be decrypted
by answering the following.
For A. In Wagner's Ring Cycle (Der Ring des Niebelungen), how
many Rhine Maidens are there?
For B. How many players are required for the Saint Saens Opus
65?
For C. The number of the symphony from which the European Anthem
is taken
For D. What number is Mahler’s Resurrection symphony?
For E. All Mozart’s work were catalogued by a man called
Ludwig von Kochel so the numbers of Mozart’s works are all
prefixed with a K. Find the K number for Mozart’s opera The
Magic Flute (Die Zauberflote) and use the last number for E.
For F.How many “last songs” did Richard Strauss
leave?
The GZ is quite heavily wooded so you might wish to decrypt the
hint before setting off!
