Top of the Pops - The 70's Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Half Man Half Eejit: After nine years in the field, it's time to say goodbye to this one. Clearly a lot has changed in all that time, so sorry to recent visitors. The cache was originally placed with unfettered access from two directions...none of which involved the A36 or private land.

As with all of our caches, thanks for all those that took the time to visit and say something nice...well actually just anything other 'T4TC' (or less).

Time for us to move on and free space up for others.

Geocache Description:


The listed co-ordinates are BOGUS and are for a roundabout on the A36. However, the cache can be found within 1 mile of the posted co-ordinates.

This is the second in a series of five caches celebrating a great music programme that came to an end this year. To find the cache you will first need to solve the anagrams listed below.

There are 10 anagrams of song titles that achieved success in this decade. Once you have deciphered the name of the song, find out what its highest chart position in the British singles charts was and transfer that number to the blank co-ordinates as illustrated by the example below. If the highest position achieved was 10, then drop the 1 and use the zero.

N51º AB.CDE
W002º FG.HIJ

Example

B = 'a shocker Julio' which when re-arranged becomes 'Jailhouse Rock'

Highest chart position = 1 so B=1

A = BEACH HERMIT VENTS ORE
B = CIDER CORK COOL
C = A FANCIER HILL TOO
D = VET NATTY CARP
E = REWASHING SPRIGS
F = TOY MINK IS A NODDLE
G = A HUG LONGING THEME
H = LADY COD DO
I = A WOBBLE EYE RUMMER MORE
J = RE BEER BELL

In the tradition of every great pub quiz the cache setters answers are final, so no quibbling!

So, once you’ve cracked all the anagrams; researched their highest chart position and transposed that number into the final cache co-ordinates, you will be looking for a lock-lock container, hidden in a camo bag. Easy.

Please note that the area is frequented by lots of doggie muggles and walkers in general, so as is becoming common with all of our caches, an element of stealth is required...when will we find a 'perfect' hidey-hole?

There is parking not far from the cache. By way of reward for completing this cache we have thrown in a cheesy 70’s compilation long player for the FTF to enjoy on their trusty gramophone.
