Geocache Description:


This multi cache has been published to coincide with our SOX event in Nettlebed.

This is a pretty South Oxfordshire village, where one can expect to stroll about the streets in safety. Who would suspect that it is part of the murderous Midsomer area?  Thankfully that is only in the parallel universe of television and you really can feel free to walk about without finding yourself knee deep in corpses.  We enjoy watching the series just to spot all the villages that are familiar to us.

We see from a plaque at the rear of the venue for our event, that an episode of the much-loved Midsomer Murders was once filmed there.  To find the co-ordinates of the cache, you must visit the plaque and collect some numbers.

The plaque is best approached from the pub car park and can be found at the published co-ordinates. 

A = number of letters in the first name of the victim.

B = number of letters in the last name of the victim.

C = number of letters in the first word of the name of the fictitious pub.

D = number of letters in the middle word of the name of the fictitious pub.

E = number of letters in the last word of the name of the fictitious pub.

The cache can be found a short walk away at

N51 34.AC(E-(A+C))  W000 59.(E-C)(B - (A+A))(E-D)

The digit sum for all 15 numbers in the co-ordinates is 48
