Geocache Description:

A quick puzzle that will involve the use of Google in searching for the clues. Unfinished buildings is the theme.


I have been impressed by my nearby church since moving to the area a year ago. Building work on St. Mary's in Laira began in 1911, but is distinct as not having been completely finished (this is noticeable on viewing the church from different angles).

This particular cache is dedicated to other unfinished buildings from around the world. You will need to search for these buildings and find out the date when building work started: this will be vital in collecting the relevant clues for the final co-ordinates. The final location of the cache is only a short walk away from the church.

 

Work out the clues for the final co-ordinates:

N 50 2A.(B-7) (C+2) (D-3) W 004 0(E-2).FG(H+5)

 

Deutsches Stadion (A & B):

The German Stadium was a monumental stadium designed by Albert Speer for the Nazi Party for use at their Nuremberg rallies. It was never completed due the outbreak of war and the downfall of the Nazis. Find the date when building work started: 19AB.

Woodchester Mansion (C & D):

Woodchester is an unfinished Gothic revivial mansion based in Gloucestershire. It was abandoned by builders during construction, leaving a building that appears complete on the outside, but with whole rooms and floors missing inside. Find the date when building work started: 18CD.

Sagrada Familia (E & F):

The Basilica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia is based in Barcelona, Spain. It remains incomplete, but is a massive tourist attraction. Anticipated completion date is 2026! Find the date when building work started: 18EF.

For the clues G & H you will need to go to the initialy co-ordinates and find the last two digits on the phone number at the bottom of the blue board.

The final cache is a small magnetic box - please be careful when handling and replacing the cache, this is a muggle area. Best of luck!
