Geocache Description:

Listed coordinates are for parking. A small clip lock box with a few goodies in it.


Did you have a good Christmas? Bill & Ben had a quiet Christmas. In fact you could only tell it was Christmas by the dire state of British TV over the festive period. We have come a long way since the halcyon days of the 1970s when the whole nation would sit down on Christmas Day to Some Mothers Do Ave Em, followed by The Two Ronnies, and topped off with the Morecambe & Wise Show. Happy days, except for the lack of central heating, 3 day weeks, dire food, unreliable BL Cars, flared trousers …… Anyway, one of the high spots of this Christmas was a re-run of Some Mothers Do Ave Em, particularly our favourite episode The RAF Reunion. This has particular resonance in our household as Ben’s brother did his National Service in the RAF. He hated it at the time, but now goes to the reunions – replete with his RAF socks!

Oooh!”

For those of you who are too young to sport an “O Levels & Proud” T shirt, you can find out what this is all about by watching here.

So, to find the cache you have to follow in the intrepid Frank’s footsteps. If Herbert hasn’t got any, how many have

A = Anne

B = Edward

C = George

D = Richard

E = Herbert

F = James

G= Elizabeth

H= Victoria

I = John

Once you’ve worked that out, then the cache is at

N51 54.(A)(B)(C+D) W000 13.(2*D+H)(E)(F+G+I)

If you’re having “any trouble” you can always use Frank’s mantra – “On every day, and in every way, I shall get better”, and if that doesn’t work “Never mind eh?”
