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


Mr Forgetful is on leave from The Navy. His ship is anchored somewhere in South Wales. Unfortunately, he forgot to way mark it, so he's forgotten where it is (clot). He sent an email to his Captain asking where it is. Because Mr Nosey (the spy) is about, the Captain answered in a cryptic manner.

Mr Forgetful is not very good at cryptic stuff, (or map reading), so can you please help him get back to his ship before he spends the rest of his life on jankers?

This is a copy of what the Captain sent:

This should tell you what to look for.

Clue 1: A nobleman who knows the total? Yes. (6 letters)
Clue 2: 150 on a donkey's relative – that's style! (5 letters)
Clue 3: Red oysters, all over the place – they'll ruin it! (10 letters)

Now you need to take a virtual tour (unless you fancy a drive.)

DE21 4EG = ab
ML1 3UL = cd
NG16 2FU = ef
BS6 7NJ = gh
G40 3RF = jk
BT15 5AA = lm
CF5 1QS = no
SA1 6JE = pr

The ship is tied up at

N 51 co.dg(b-e) W 003 jl.pm(k-n)

where you will be able to sign the ships log, so long as you remember a pen. It's a small camouflaged ship, about the size of a 35mm canister.

Parking is available nearby. Watch out for Mr (or Miss) Nosey.
