It has recently come into my possession
details regarding the great 'Argos Heist' of 99.
It involved a gang of four making an early morning raid on the
store before making off in a helicopter from the above co-ords.
In an effort to effect an escape they flew a staggered course.
Heading off on 205° for 5 minutes at average speed of 72 Km/hr
brought them to the cross of a church tower, whence they changed
course to 299° and proceeded at a constant speed of 56.4 Km/hr for
a further 6 mins again finding a church cross beneath. Veering
immediately onto a 89° heading for a distance of 3.74 Kms brought
them to another significant point. An intercepted radio message had
informed of the launch of a police helicopter, which spooked one of
the miscreants into donning on a parachute and asking the pilot to
turn onto a 347° heading and slow a little. After flying for 5mins
at a speed of 21.24 miles/hr (Why the change of units? To
slow you down as well!!) he grabbed the nearest box of loot and
hurled himself vertically earthwards landing in a compound adjacent
to footpath.
Here he spent the day hiding in a corner until the fear of
nightfall forced him to abandon the spot and take fields; but not
before noting a prominent feature a few mtrs right of the exit.
After a while, realising that should he be caught with the loot he
would be doomed, he secreted it before going on his way.
However, escape he did not, and was imprisoned with his
compatriots, from where the above details and the following came
into my possession.
((8-18), (1-4), (3-6), (4-8) N50 5 (8-22), (6-28),
(3-23), (4-23), (14-8).
(7-9), (3-20), (5-5), (4-19), (6-28), (4-22), (8-14), (8-11).
A little computation and the above should enable you to locate
the treasure. However sadly in his haste, he grabbed a box, which
only contained one £10 Argos voucher and miscellaneous objects.
Verge parking can be had and walking distance is no more than 400
yds from car. (Can be muddy at times)
