Geocache Description:

A small set of caches to celebrate this award-winning comedy series. They could have been simple 'cache and dashes', but where is the fun in that? So, to find the cache you will need to do a bit of research, use the clues, or have a walk around to discover the location. The cache is well within a mile of the posted coordinates.

Scenes of this location are often preceded by the words “Leigh Delamere?” however in reality it’s nowhere near Junction 17 of the M4.  You can see the location in Series 2, Episode 8 and Series 3, Episode 6.




Once you’ve found this place, you will need to look around you to calculate the final co-ordinates of the cache.  It is possible to walk from this place to the cache, however we’d recommend driving it. 

You are able to park quite closely to the actual cache.

Cache co-ordinates are:
N ?? ??.ABC   W ???.??.DEF
A = Number of letters in name of the hotel within the services complex
B+C = Number of hours free parking (no zeros in this answer)
D = Number of letters in the second name of the services + 2
E = Number of letters in the first name of the services
F = Number of letters in the name of the petrol company
And the ?? are the same as the services coordinates

Cache container is a micro with log and pencil, room for small swaps.  Please take care when replacing the cache.

There is a FTF badge and a Ryder Cup pin badge in there to start us off. 

Thanks go to sniffadogz for his kind permission to use the  Gavin and Stacey series as a template for this cache.

Congratulations to DHJ&P for the FTF!

Now with geochecker to help you solve before you visit.
