Geocache Description:


Continuing a little series around my local patch - time for another puzzle smiley

The above co-ordinates are bogus so don't go there. To find the real ones you will need to solve the puzzle.

Stage 1: Find the answers to the following six questions; they are all one word answers and start with the same letter.

1. Attacked by surprise (archaic)

2. Very enthusiastic

3. The longest river in South America

4. Agincourt winning projectile

5. Emma Peel was one

6. South African rugby emblem (generic)

Stage 2: Work out what links the six answers and then identify the other two that are missing; you will need more than just the names wink

Stage 3: From the two missing words, use the associated info hinted at above, let's call it X and Y, to get the final co-ords as follows:

N50 15.(X+Y+19)     W005 15.(X+Y+64)

You are looking for a camo'd small sample tube.

Apologies, but being a country footpath there are stiles to cross which makes it unsuitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs and a no-go for bicycles. The road is farily quiet so you should be able to park close to either end of the footpath. 

At the time of placing, this area, like most of Cornwall it seems, has suffered from rather persistent and heavy rain so the path can be quite muddy in places and the local farmer does rotate his herd of cows through the fields so please take appropriate care, especially with dogs.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
