Geocache Description:

This is a multi-cache set in the village of Shaw near Melksham.

I have named this cache after the 10-Kilometer multi-terrain run that I have organised in the village since 2005, which starts at the Beeches where this multi-cache starts too. This route however is just over a mile and can get a bit muddy in places and is not really suitable for pushchairs, the route also uses the pavement alongside the A365 which runs through the village and so any junior cachers should take care. The cache requires very short hops between various points in village to find the mystery cache at the location of the final reference.

You can park at the listed co-ordinates and then look out for two dates and a set of initials carved into the stone on the village hall. Subtract the older date from the more recent to get AB and use the numeric values of the initials as CD.
 
Now head to N51 D(B+D-C).A(B+D)(C+D) W02 (B-B)(B+C-D).BA(A+D)
 
 
In whose memory is the gate dedicated, let the number of letters in their name equal E.
Now head to N51 D(A+D).D(C-D-A)(B-E) W02 (E-B)(E+D+A).(E-D)(A+D)A
 
 
How many border the round window? Let the number of bricks be F. 
Now head to N51 D(F-A).(D+A)(F-D+A)(F-D) W02 (B-F-D)(C+F).C(C+D)(A+B)
 
 
How many buses are taking shelter? Let the number of buses be G.
Now head to N51 DG.FGA W02 (G-A-D)(G+B).(C+D)A(F+G)
 
 
How many school bells? Let the number of bells be H.
Now head to N51 DG.C(H-D)(E+D) W02 (F-H-D)(F+G+H).(C+H)BH
 
 
How many stones make a henge? Let the number of stones viewed from the path be IJ.
Now find the cache at N51 HG.FHG W02 (J-C-G)(I+J).(B+G)JH
