Geocache Description:

The first of a Connection-style series of puzzle caches requiring a bit of lateral thinking. This one leads to a magnetic BYOP final. Please note ultra stealth needed at the final location, which could be considered a 5th connection.

To solve this cache you need to work out what connects :

- An Austrian who travelled 24 miles in one quick trip in 2012.

- A famous rock star who hit the big time in the 1970s and has also enjoyed an acting career. The title of one of the movies he starred in is the link.

- A figure from Greek mythology.

- A Bond movie.


Once you have worked it all out :

A=the number of letters in the name of the rock star (Christian name + surname).

B=the number of letters in the name of the rock star's movie connection.

C=the number of letters in the Christian name of the Austrian.

D=the number of letters in the surname of the Austrian.

E=the number of letters in the name of the mythological Greek figure.

F=the number of letters in the name of the Bond movie.

The cache can be found at : N54 59.Y W001 35.Z
