Geocache Description:

A quick and easy puzzle cache based in the attractive village of Ewyas Harold, close to the English/Welsh border in the West Midlands. The aim of this cache is to take you to a little visited landmark of Ewyas Harold.

The given co-ords are for Ewyas Harold Village Hall where there is plenty of parking, but you may want to park a bit closer to the cache site when you've worked out where it is.

All the clues below can be very easily answered by a quick bit of research on the internet before heading off or a quick wander round the main roads of the village. Just answer the questions below to get the numerical value of the letters and then go to the bottom to replace the letters in the final position co-ords. So here goes:

What is the squadron number of the Air Cadets based in Ewyas Harold? Answer = ABCD

One of the pubs in the village has an animal in it's name (no it's not the Red Lion!), but how many letters in the animal name? Answer = E

What is the number of the B-road running through the village? Answer = 43FG

None of the answers (or the cache) should be particularly hard to find .

Now substitute the following letters for the corresponding answers you've found: N51 5G.BAC W002 5E.GBF

The cache is a small specimen-type container with room for a swap or a small trackable. I've started it off with a geocache key ring and (someone else's) Travel Bug.

Good luck!

Well done to gemmaprosniewska for finding this first less than an hour after it was published.
