The building occupied by Thirsk Tourist Information Centre used to be public toilets, which is why it has three green doors (male, female and disabled).

How to calculate the coordinates of the physical cache

The physical cache is at N 54° 13.ABC W 001° 20.DEF where:

A = the number of letters and symbols on the sign on the middle door

B = the number of letters in the month that the Tourist Information Centre was officially opened

C = the number of letters in first word of the last line of the brass plate commemorating the official opening of the Tourist Information Centre

D = the number of letters in the first name of the first person who officially opened the Tourist Information Centre

E = the number of letters in the first name of the author otherwise known as James Herriot

F = the number of letters in the second name of the second person who officially opened the Tourist Information Centre

Checksum (A+B+C+D+E+F) = 31
