Geocache Description:


Hidden near West Horsley Place (aka Button House), this cache is themed around the BBC show Ghosts! Tickets to the house aren't required for this cache; alternative parking is avalilable. I am unsure if West Horsley Place allow people to park on days where they are closed - it's probably best to park at Horsley Meadows car park and take the 20 minute walk from there. I would recommend visiting during its opening hours, 10am - 4pm. However, I'd recommend visiting the house too, even if you don't watch Ghosts - it's a beautiful place with a garden and grounds (and they're in need of guests for the expensive maintenance costs!)

Without further ado, here are the clues - all you need is knowledge of the show and basic maths.

 

CO-ORDINATES QUESTIONS

A: What season is the episode The Woodworm Men from? 

B: How many ghosts are there at Button House? (Who are in most episodes, so not including Jemima) 

C: How many ghosts died due to heart attacks? 

D: How many potatoes high did Mary advise baskets should be?

BONUS QUESTION

There is also a bonus question - if you get this correct, you'll recieve an extra hint as to where the cache is!

BONUS: In the episode Bump in the Night, how many burglars does Mike believe there are in the house after Julian misleadingly writes a number on the mirror?

5 = wooden gate

10 = gorse bush

12 = 5 trunk tree

17 = statue

20 = bricks

24 = at eye level

 

Happy finding and good luck!!
