FYI 201 – Old Grammar School

FOR FULL DETAILS OF THE FYI SERIES, PLEASE VISIT http://www.fyigeocaching.co.uk 

This is a simple multi - find the info, do the sums and walk to the final.

THE CACHE: You will need to glean numbers from 2 information boards...

At the given coords you will find an information board headed The Old Grammar School. Please answer the following questions:

1. The number of photographs on the board = A

2. The Romanesque arches date back to the BC th century

3. The number of words in the motto on the blue strip on the bottom left = D

Now go around the other side of the building to the information on a carved stone (titled The Mediaeval Chapel...) at Waypoint 1 and answer the following questions:

4.  Look at the 'simplified diagram'. The number of letters in the largest room = E

5.  The number of items listed on the 'key' to the diagram = F

6.  In 1701 the number of western arches that were blocked = G

Checksum: A+B+C+D+E+F+G=24

The cache can be found at ... N 54 04.ED(B+E)  W 004 3(A*C).FB(E+G)
