Geocache Description:

Growing up I loved the band Madness. This love has continued into adulthood and my children are now starting to enjoy them too.  This is a simple mystery cache with a Madness theme.


It's not meant to be too difficult to solve but the final location is overlooked by a number of houses so stealth may be required to retrieve it, hence the higher rating. Please use the required level of stealth, or return at a quieter time, so as not to compromise the cache. The final location is wheelchair accessible but help will be required to reach it. 

The coordinates will place you where the paths meet in the middle of a nearby park. The cache is not at these coordinates!

The cache is actually located, within a short walk, at:  N52. A.BC E001. D.EFG. Where the letters A to G can be derived from the clues below.

A = Night boat to Cairo from One Step Beyond. 
B = Elysium from Wonderful.
C = The Prince from Total.

D = It Must Be Love from Divine.
E = Rainbows from Liberty of Norton Folgate.
F = Baggy Trousers from Absolutely.
G = Cardiac Arrest from Seven.

Once at the final coordinates you are looking for a magnetic key holder.  Well done to SONIAHARRY for FTF and unlucky to Fast Running Monster who missed out by a minute or two.
