Geocache Description:

Three puzzles at key points on the murder trail will lead you to a micro, and then ultimately to the final cache!

George Harry Storrs came to a sticky end one cold November evening. Our journey begins in a graveyard at the co-ordinates above.
  • yyyy = age of George Harry + (5 * year of his father's birth)
  • zzzz = (2 * year of George Harry's death) + (4 * his mother's age)
From here we head to the site of the former home of solicitor Robert Innes at N53 2y.yyy W002 0z.zzz. There is now a residential nursing home at this location, however, it bears the same name as Innes' house. It is rumoured that the Governess to the Innes children was mistress to George Harry. It is further rumoured that the post mortem which followed her apparent suicide revealed her to have been pregnant.
  • wwww = {1},{7},{1}+{8},{7}-{5}
  • xxxx = {2}-{6},{3}-{1},{7}-{8},{4}-{1}
On to the site of the murder at N53 2w.www W002 0x.xxx. The 35mm micro is a little further north, and a little further west of this point: add Beatrix's age at her last visit to the north co-ordinates and the length of time her grandfather lived here to the west co-ordinates.
