Geocache Description:


West Midlands 2022

Cheddleton Station

Northings:

The road on the right of the map (next to 'overflow parking') goes to several places. Count how many letters in each of the destinations:

A=the first place.
B=the second place.
C=the third place…

Westings:

D=in the centre of the map are two locations that share a first word: a column and a tower. How many letters in the first word?
E=How many sheds on the map?
F=Something has been 'engineered' - how many letters in the two-word item?

Checksum: The map is a bit cracked and faded so to check you have them correct, add all your digits A-F together - they should add up to 30. And helpful hint: One of the digits is a zero!


The cache can be found at N53 03.ABC W002 01.DEF
