#112 Only Connect - MK Edition Mystery Cache

The "Only Connect" Series

Number 112 of a Connection-style series of puzzle caches requiring a bit of lateral thinking. The cache itself can be found at an appropriate location.

Thanks very much to Jesmond Lynam for trusting the MKGees to expand his excellent Only Connect series in Tyne & Wear, and to Jesmond Lynam and the MKGees for allowing me to set a guest puzzle. Puzzle names and numbers will be kept aligned to make it one big series.

The rest of the series can be found by clicking on this link to the Only Connect bookmark list.
