Geocache Description:

Happy Christmas from Cheese Nibbles.

Here's a little puzzle to peruse whilst finishing off the mince pies, cheese and wine!


The cache, which is not at the published coordinates, is a small pot with room for trackables. It is hidden on a circular walk we love to do as an extended family between Christmas and New Year. There are bus routes and obvious parking places not too far away, and you can choose a short or longer walk (maybe to walk off the Christmas excesses!). It can be muddy at this time of year!


Below are a mixture of straight and cryptic clues, with the number in brackets giving you the length of the answer.

All answers have the word 'POT' concealed in them (that is the letters P O T consecutively somewhere in the word).

 

K (9) 9th letter = A


A yacht rope gets tangled by drug giver (10) 6th letter = B


French mixture (7)1st letter = C


Old woman (7) 2nd letter = D


Mud loving (12) 6th letter = E


Erratic, initially sending protons on to the ylem (6) 4th letter = F


Edible example of something that sounds like a brass instrument (6) 4th letter = G


Makes one dizzy and nauseous (11) 7th letter = H

 

Convert the letters required into a number using the normal method, and then calculate the coordinates as follows:

N 50 51. (D-E+G) (B+G) (F-E+B)

W 000 23. C (H-G-B) (A-B-C)
