Note - trail will be wet and muddy in autumn / winter. Please note that Stage 1 is not the location of the cache but some suitable parking a short distance from the cache location.
Also suggest you use the solution checker before you make a trip as this could save you some time.
This is my first Puzzle / Mystery Cache and I believe it's a fairly simple one on a cricket theme. Some simple clue solving (see below) should lead you to the co-ordinates for the actual cache.
Co-ordinates for the final location are as follows:
N.51.1.TOTAL OF NORTH ANSWERS BELOW
W 0.27.TOTAL OF WEST ANSWERS BELOW
North Questions:
1) West Indian batsman (BL). What was his historic first innings test score against England in April 2004?
2) Australian batting legend (DB). What was his test match average score rounded up (let's give it to him with rounding!)?
3) Broadcasting legend (RB). What age did his mother Irene pass away?
4) What score do you get for the ball clearing the boundary after it has touched the ground?
5) 59.
West Questions:
1) England pace bowler (DG). Over 58 test matches, how many wickets did he take?
2) England bowler from yesteryear (SB b 1873) from the Midlands. What was his higest batting test score (not out)?
3) Infamous incident of underarm bowling by TC. What year did this indicent take place (only the decade / year required e.g. 1949 would be 49)?
4) What score do you get for the ball clearing the boundary before it has touched the ground (answer x 4)?
5) 60.
Best of luck with this and if you find the cache please replace as found. The ground may also be muddy.
Trail Blurb:
The main trail consists of 12 caches in a very loose circle numbered 1 to 12 (which can be done in any order). Between 1 and 3 is a mystery cache which can be included but some homework (online in the field if you prefer) needs to be done in advance to find the cache coordinates.
The trail can be done in any order but suggested starting point is number 1 with free parking available at Jubilee Fields pavilion a short distance from the start.
Please note there are small sections of road walking so please take care (especially with children and dogs). You are also likely to see livestock (bulls, cows, sheep and horses for example) so again please take care with any younger cachers / hounds.
I have tried to be fairly generous with hints to ensure most, if not all caches, can be found.
In addition to the main 12 caches there is a mini trail of 4 extra caches to the north (also prefixed with the Jubilee name). These can be done after number 6 to extend the overall walk, done on a separate occasion or ignored completely. Many thanks.
