Geocache Description:

I'm pleased to be allowed to make another contribution to this series.

I hope it keeps up the standard.


When I made some preliminary enquiries I was reminded that "When you go to hide a cache, think of the reason you are bringing people to that spot. If the only reason is for the geocache, then find a better spot."

I fear that where this cache is hidden has more to do with the solution to the puzzle than any intrinsic merit but I have found this with a lot of other caches so hope I can be excused.

Taking this into account I am suggesting a starting place that IS full of interest and will provide a good walk to the cache.

Now for the puzzle!

You need to find how A to G are connected.

A declined to do Napoleon's bidding.

B was a senior officer at the Battle of Waterloo.

C and D were sisters. D went off on her own and was surprised by an Australian.

E and F were related to C and D. E was one of seven and F was one of four.

G is a brewery.

The values for A to G are the alphabetical values of the initial letter in each case.

The cache is hidden at N 54 59.11(A+B+C+D+E+F+G)+A+E+G W 001 38.9(A+B+C+D+E+F+G)+A+D+G
