Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates. I have really enjoyed similar puzzles locally so have created this one - to try more, please see those by ErewashPaddler and TooTsuite. 

 

You will need to identify which streets in the area are hinted at by the following 20 clues. To avoid any doubt, I have used the area shown as West Bridgford on Google Maps. All answers are single words and exclude the words “road”, “street”, etc.

 

  • A heavy weight of giggles 
  • A large area for plain earrings, or breeding animals
  • A large breed of spaniel 
  • Aka Dave, Robin (and several more from his brother)
  • Alias of newsreader Sir George 
  • Amelia’s European coin
  • Assembles a group of peacocks for inspection
  • Caffeinated wine
  • Excellent/awesome Sir ... Richard 
  • Fold your bike to fit down here
  • Organised a promotion for the band, Tool
  • “Our forest” said the Geordie 
  • Read Hamlet in the wrong order
  • Sounds like a heavily built person
  • Straight outta...
  • Tell him to run
  • The Bard sells makeup here
  • The edge (usually, though not of this area) 
  • Wrote a note from right to left
  • Ziziphus obtusifolia 

 

Once you have solved these, put the 20 answers in alphabetical order, and then use them to calculate the coordinates.

 

The cache is at N52 5A.BCD W001 0E.FGH, where:

A = The number of letters in the 19th word

B = The number of answers beginning with N

C = The number of vowels in the 20th word

D = The number of letters in the 14th word

 

E = The number of letters in the 7th word

F = The total numbers of answers beginning with B and C

G = Number of letters in the 12th word minus the number of letters in the 10th word

H = The total numbers of letters in the 2nd and 10th words
 

 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
