Well my friends, the time has come for me to take down the Provost's book from its high shelf and the for the fifth time to select a tale which will make you draw the drapes against the night.
For those who know of what I speak, it all must be frighteningly familir but for those who tread this path for the first time you will need to read, or listen to the correct ghostly tale and then answer the questions below:
Well my friends, the time has come for me to take down the Provost's book from its high shelf and the for the fifth time to select a tale which will make you draw the drapes against the night.
For those who know of what I speak, it all must be frighteningly familir but for those who tread this path for the first time you will need to read, or listen to the correct ghostly tale and then answer the questions below:
A = What is the game that Parkins wishes to play when he visits Burnstow (number of letters in the game's name) ?
B = How Many beds does Perkins's room at the Globe Inn have ?
C = What time in the morning was Perkin's called?
D = On how many sides does Perkin's room look out to the seaward ?
G = How many words are inscribed on front of the object (Hint: It's not the cache title's side) ?
H = These words are all the same length - what is that length?
J = How many pence does the Colonel give the boy?
K = What time does the Vicar propose to hold a service to honour the Feast of St Thomas the Apostle ?
L = What game does Parkin play in the evening, after dinner (number of letters in the game's name) ?
M = How many times does Parkin blow into the object?
W = (G + H)
X = (J - K)
Y = (L - A)
Z = (B / M)
knowing all this, the cache can be found at:
N 51 1A.BCD W 002 1W.XYZ
The story can be found within the picture.
The cache is large enough to take most small travel bugs and geocoins, and the log book holder is themed to the cache. Can I ask that you don't take it with you please.
May you have a merry time in finding this one.
You can see if you are right here.
There is a £2 coin awaiting the first person to find this cache.
Congratulations to SquireTrelawney on being the first to find this cache...
