Captain Barnacle Pete Explores Kelmarsh
Church Micro 6960...Kelmarsh - St Denys
(the cache is not at the listed coordinates)
Ahoy there, mateys! Captain Barnacle Pete be recruitin’ brave adventurers fer another grand voyage across the lands o’ Kelmarsh, Northamptonshire! During a recent treasure hunt, the captain stumbled upon an old sea chest hidden away amongst the countryside trails. Inside he found no gold doubloons, no jewels, and not even a decent biscuit, but he did uncover a curious scrap of parchment covered in strange numbers and symbols. Pete declared the discovery “far more suspicious than a chest with no treasure ought to be,” while Kevin the parrot suggested it was probably just the captain reading the map upside down again. Rumour also has it the crafty captain may have hidden an extra hint within another nearby cache fer any adventurers sharp enough to seek it out.
St Denys Church is a historic parish church standing peacefully within the Northamptonshire countryside and has served the village community for centuries. Much of the present building dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, although parts of the site are believed to be even older, reflecting Kelmarsh’s long and rich history. Built mainly from local ironstone, the church displays a mixture of medieval architectural styles and is Grade I listed because of its historical and architectural importance. Surrounded by ancient gravestones and quiet rural scenery, the churchyard contains many historic memorials and tombs which reflect generations of village history. Today, St. Denys Church remains an active place of worship and an important landmark within the village.
With Kevin squawking badly off-key sea shanties overhead, Captain Barnacle Pete examined the mysterious parchment from the treasure chest. The strange collection of numbers appeared to mean absolutely nothing at first glance, though Pete confidently announced he had solved it three times already, each time arriving at a different answer. Convinced there must be a hidden message within the figures, he has shared the strange numbers here for fellow adventurers to investigate. Yer mission be simple, mateys: use the clues shown below to unravel the mystery and chart yer course to the hidden treasure.
