Geocache Description:

Part of the on-going Hitchcock series, inspired by the films of Alfred Hitchcock. This cache's title is loosely based on Hitchcock's film Lord Camber's Ladies.


A nice easy puzzle cache in Cwmtwrch. This is predominantly a quick multi, but with a small puzzle element - you need to find out where the GZ is!

You may already have the local knowledge to go straight to the GZ. Otherwise, some quick internet research using the information on this page should lead you their fairly quickly. A webpage exists that has specific information as to where this place is and how to get there.

Once you are at the place in the cache's title, find out the following:

A = The number of letters in the surname of the doctor that sent the sample of water to be analysed
B = The 3rd digit in the year of the 'political meeting'
C = The number of pipes that the spring flows from
D = The second digit in the birthday mentioned on the nearby bench
E = The number of letters in the first word on the sign directly above the spring (count 'ff' as seperate letters)
F = The number of benches to the left of the spring (not including the ones in the spring's walled area)
G = The 3rd digit in the year that the spring was restored by the Ystalyfera Community Council
H = The 2nd digit minus the 3rd digit in the year on the sign above the spring

The final cache location is at N51 4A.BCD W003 4E.FGH

Bring your own pen! PLEASE access this place on foot - the road leading to it is for private houses and has a big hole in the middle! Thanks.

This cache was placed to be found! If you're struggling in any way, please don't hesitate in contacting me.

Finally, this cache contains information for the forthcoming bonus cache, 'Hitchcock Series: Mystery Road', so make a note of them!
