Geocache Description:


This will be the last Hidden Gem placed for a while, so I will mix it up a bit and make this one a very easy puzzle.

A certain hotel in Torquay might not have views of it, but here in the Axe Valley we have our very own Serengeti Plains for you to marvel at. There might not be "herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically" across the valley below, but with a bit of imagination, you could easily transport yourself there (just think of the cows as wildebeest, the seagulls as vultures and the Seaton tram as an elephant). If you're lucky, you might spot some watery fowls or even some fatty owls...

To find this cache, you need to know the 70's television comedy that the highlighted quote above comes from and then work out the following:

A = Number of letters in the first word of the show.

B = Total number of letter "L's" in the main character's first and last name (added together).

The cache is placed at: N 50 43.1AB    W 003 03.1B(B*2)

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

There is a small layby at GZ where you can park for a cache and dash. Please don't park and leave your car in the layby as this will block an access gate. If you are on foot, then please be VERY careful when walking along the road as there is no pavement. There is a small amount of barbed wire near GZ but you don't need to go too close to this. 

Please also be careful when handling and opening/closing the cache as it's a bit delicate (please write a note if it is ever damaged in any way).
