Geocache Description:


Not one, but two War Memorials will be seen at this location.

The main one is for Carn Brea - and yes this location is within the parish, albeit quite a way from Carn Brea village. The parish stretches north and south, either side of the hill of the same name and is surrounded by the parishes of Redruth, Camborne, Illogan and Wendron, with a tiny bit of Lanner also creeping in. Generally regular in shape, it does have an intriguing extension in the north east corner for some reason. This memorial commemorates three distinct conflicts.

The second, smaller memorial is for Tregajorran and was removed for safe keeping while the chapel there was being demolished in 1995, finally ending up here in 2008.

Now for the cache - a simple off-set multi with all the clues - and the cache - within sight of the main memorial. You are looking for a hanging camo'd bison at N50 13.(B+F)(D+F)F W005 15.E(D+C)(B-A)

1. How old was Cpl Oates RAMC when he died - AB

2. Number of letters in the name of the oak planted to celebrate Queen Elizabeth the Second's Platinum Jubilee - C

3. What is the number of the Defibrilator - xx00D8

4. How many letters in the surname of Marise who has a bench nearby - E

5. The first numerical digit of the post box number - F. ***the post office has removed the plate with the required info for updating so F=1

CHECKSUM A-F 28

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Just-Us-Two know first at justustwo1013@gmail.com so they can keep track of the memorial numbers and names to avoid any duplication.

There is a web page for the series [https://warmemorialseries.co.uk](https://warmemorialseries.co.uk/) and a facebook page, just search War Memorial Geocaching. There are badges for your profile (Finders and Setters) and loads of info.
