Ah my dear friend it is that time once more. Pray pull your chair a little closer to the fire, whilst I take down Montague's book for our annual tale of the supernatural. By now the drill must be familiar to you all. There is nothing to be found at the above location, well nothing that would make you want to linger...
To find the cache you need to read, or listen to the correct ghostly tale and then answer the questions below:
How many years ago did the train carrying Mr Humphreys arrive into Wilsthorpe? 1A years.
What year did Mr Humphreys guess the Hall was probably built? BC7D
The manner of which elder from Handel's 'Susanna' did Mr Cooper adopt when showing Mr Humphreys where to maze was to be found? E
At what hour did Mr Humphreys dine that first night in the hall ? F
How many windows faced east in the Hall's library? G
How tall in the stone column, in the centre of the maze, on which is mounted the copper sphere? H feet
In which year did Mr Calton's late aunt get lost in a maze which may have been at Covent Garden or Hampton court? 18J6
How long in minutes did that poor lady remain lost in the maze? upwards of K0 minutes.
knowing all this, the cache can be found at:
N 51 BH.D(K-F)J W 002 (F-C)(A-B).(J/G)D(E*E)
Whilst the story can be found within the maze.
The cache is large enough to take most small travel bugs and geocoins.
May you have a merry time in finding this one.
You can see if you are right here.
There is a £2 coin awaiting the first person to find this cache.
Congratulations to billiethecat on being the first person to find this cache.
