Park at N52 47.625 W01 26.415.
For the first clue head off to N52 47.680 W01 26.366. You are looking for four words expertly carved into wood ... word#1 word#2 & word#3 word#4
Not saying which word is which, but if you think about it there's only one way this works as the results for a,b,c,d,e & f are all single digit [whole numbers, no fractions].
So ...
a = Number of letters in word#1
b = Number of letters in word#2 divided by a
c = Number of letters in word#2 minus number of letters in word#3
d = Number of words that have the same number of letters
e = b x 3
f = Number of letters in word#4
Head for N52 47.abc W01 26.def
Next, you are looking for the key clue to take you to the next coordinates.
When you find it:
g = the number of letters in the First Name.
h = the number of letters in the Last Name.
i = the number of letters in the Occupation.
j = g x h x i
The next location is at N52 47.(372 + j) W01 26.(92 + j)
You are looking for more words carved into woocd. Now work out ...
_ letter of the alphabet corresponding to #letters in the first word of three
_ 2nd letter of first word of two
_ 3rd letter of first word of two
_ letter of the alphabet corresponding to #letters in all 5 words - 2
_ letter of the alphabet corresponding to #letters in all 5 words - 6
_ 4th letter of first word of two
_ letter of the alphabet corresponding to [#letters in the three words) x 2
_ 3rd letter of first word of three
_ 3rd letter in second word of two
Happy hunting!
