Following Foot Prints in Time (Clyde, C.Otago) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Natalie247: The item the cache was hidden on has gone. The whole area the cache was hidden has been adjusted and I didn't feel comfortable trying to hide another geocache here now. So I have decided to archive this cache as it stands. Hopefully someone else will put out a new cache using these plaques - maybe an idea for an adventure lab? Feel free to make use.

Geocache Description:


Promote Dunstan is a small group of volunteers whose vision is to promote, protect and celebrate the Dunstan, an area stretching from Earnscleugh and Clyde to the Manuherikia.  Within the group’s area of interest are three of the most authentically preserved and significant gold rush settlements in New Zealand, Ophir, St Bathans and Clyde. 

One of their projects is called foot prints in time and I thought it lent itself for a fun quick puzzle (unless you are lucky with your search online, you need to go to listes co-ords to find the answers):

Cache is located at:

S45 11. ABC E169 18.XYZ

A = Trained Nurse E. Annan's first name divided by the number of shoe prints on same plaque.

B = How many mayors of Clyde are listed after 1878?

C =  David during the gold rush ere established a draper's shop called ??? House. Number of letters in missing name is C.

X = Number of shoe prints on V Pyke added to number of footprints on D. McConnochie.

Y =The first time Anthony Christophers was Masters of the Lodge until 187Y.

Z = E. Annan was born in 190Z.

 

Note you can reach this from the verge, you do not need to pass over/under/through any fences to reach this.
