Geocache Description:

If you are out shopping and you'd rather be elsewhere, here is a little diversion for you. No shops need to be entered and no money will need to change hands. You can even look like you are window shopping but you are on a mission.



This cache is inspired by Bristol at Night ( planetos/Chaotica_UK ).
The given coordinates are in the centre of Bath's new shopping precinct. Within this collection of shops you will find the signs or brand names from which the twelve fragments depicted on the pictures are taken. They are all visible from the street.

(NB one of the images is much smaller than all the rest, it is an iconic brand name featured extensively in the windows of a shop of a different name.
Image D has been somewhat obscured by large window dressing but is still just visible without going into the shop.
One of the words is on a street sign.)

For each image ( top row labelled A,B,C,D,E,F bottom row labelled H,J,K,L,M,N ) you need to count the number of letters in the word from which it is taken.

A (iR)

B (a)

C (s)

D (E)

E (RK)

F (ab) apparently "fabulous" has now ceased trading

H (T) and Pizza Express have removed the word BATH from their windbreaks !!

J (?)

K (hG)

L (y)

M (R)

N (NH)

Once you have found all twelve of them , just plug them in here and take a short walk to locate the cache

N51 2(N-A) . (A) (D+H-J) (E+M-B)

W002 2(N-F) . (J) (A-C) (K-L)

There is no pencil in the cache, but you must have one in your pocket to solve it.
