Captain Barnacle Pete Explores Clipston

A Fine Pair # 1897 ~ Clipston 

(the cache is not at the listed coordinates)

Ahoy there, mateys! Captain Barnacle Pete and Kevin the parrot have arrived in the heart o’ Clipston fer another puzzlin’ pirate adventure! While wandering the village in search of hidden treasure, Pete stumbled upon a curious pair o’ landmarks standing watch beside the road: an ancient red post box and a grand old telephone box. Wedged inside the post box slot was a weathered scrap o’ paper covered in strange letters, numbers, and mysterious instructions that claimed the final cache could only be found by gatherin’ clues from both landmarks together.

Naturally, Captain Barnacle Pete declared himself “Chief Royal Pirate Postmaster,” despite accidentally trying to post Kevin twice before breakfast. Meanwhile Kevin perched atop the post box squawking directions that were only slightly more useful than Pete’s map-reading skills. Yer mission be simple, mateys: gather the clues from the post box and phone box, and chart yer course to the hidden treasure. Keep yer eyes sharp, fer every number brings ye one step closer to the cache!
