There is free parking available at Sainsbury’s (N 51º
07.433 E 0º 15.256), and the whole of this tour is easily done on
foot.
The first answer from each location will need to be decoded,
using this grid:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U
V W X Y Z
1 0 1 9 6 7 5 5 1 5 4 5 5 3 5 8 2 4 0 6 6 6 6 3 9 1
For example if the
question tells you that the answer is *@* **@@# #*#, and you
discover that the actual answer is “THE ROYAL OAK”,
then you need to substitute the symbols for letters, like
this:
THE ROYAL OAK
*@* **@@# #*#
.H. ..YAL O.K
So @@@ = HYA, and ### = LOK (you
don’t need to use the letters associated with the *s).
Then you use the grid to turn these letters into numbers, so HYA =
591, and LOK = 554.
So the next location is N 51° 07.@@@ E 000° 15.###, which equals N
51° 07.591 E 000° 15.554
