FYI 174 - Thomas Robinson Building
NB: Access to info board only available 9am-6pm April to Oct, and 9am-4.30pm Nov to March. No dogs allowed (except guide dogs).
We are often told that geocaches should take us to somewhere "interesting", and not simply be placed just for the sake of it. The FYI series concept is to base a cache around details given on an Information Board, plaque or similar feature about the area in which it is situated, or the person / building / location it describes. By definition, it is hoped that this information will be "interesting", and will help the cacher discover things that would often not be revealed by a traditional cache.
This is a simple multi - find the info, do the sums and short walk to the final.
At the given coords you will find an information board, please answer the following questions.
1. There are 2 chapels marked on the original floorplan of the cemetery building. The number of letters in the type of chapel on the left hand side = A The number of letters in the type of chapel on the right hand side = B
2. The chapels building closed for burial services in 19CD
3. The number of new stain glass windows (shown on the board) designed for the renovation = E
4. The date on the new weathervane = 18F8
5. The building was acquired by the Trust on 31st March 201G
Checksum: A+B+C+D+E+F+G=46
The cache can be found at ... N 52 27.EF(C-F) W 002 0(A-C+D).(C-E-F)(B-(2xG))C
