Geocache Description:

This isn't intended to be a hard puzzle, more a chance for people to learn about the varied Clocks and Clock Towers across Milton Keynes. The cache is not at the published location but within a short walking distance away. You do not have to visit each site to solve the clues although of course if you wish to visit these sites then feel free, you may actually pass these every day!


Below is a picture puzzle showing 6 locations around Milton Keynes (or at least within the Borough of Milton Keynes).

 

Each picture is just a 'section' of the actual scene but there should be enough to recognise where it is. Next read each clue that corresponds to each snapshot picture and this will ask you to find clues that result in a number. This number corresponds to the missing co-ordinates below.

QA. When was the clock tower opened? A. 19A0

QB. Date on the White sign on the base of the clock reads? A. 19B4

QC. What date is written on the clock face under the words ‘Milton Keynes’ A. 200C

QD. What is the date on the ‘In Memorium’ Plaque? A September 2nd 19D2

QE. According to the plaque this clock commemorates the Bicentenary of the rebuilding of the town’s bridges. How many times is the word ‘bridge’ or ‘bridge’s’ referred to in the plaque. A. E

QF. On the plaque, which King George’ coronation is being commemorated? A. King George F

The final location is N52 03.FEA W000 44.BCD

Cache is small and cammo'd to it's environs, please place back exactly as found and be careful that the log stays intact. Its not necessarily suitable for swaps and TBs but feel free to try/visit!! FTF has a limited edition RWC2015 MK Pin badge. Congrats to CASH and Gary on their FTF!
