Geocache Description:


CACHE PHRASE

 

To locate this cache you will need to make your way to the village of Baginton on the outskirts of Coventry and very close to Coventry Airport.  There is kerbside parking in Kimberley Road or in the British Legion Club car park. From there make your way into Church Road at the bottom end of which you will find the church of St John the Baptist and the start of a public footpath.

 

One of Warwickshire's most famous leafy veterans is the Baginton Oak which stands in the village at the junction of Coventry Road and Church Road. It is 300 - 350 years old and has a girth in excess of 250 inches.

 

To determine the exact location of this cache you will have to find the answers to the following questions:

 

All of these are catchphrases used by characters in sitcoms, gameshows or films:

 

Gather Round Men

The actor who played the character using the above catchphrase was born on

2_  September 1915.  = A

 

He’s from Barcelona

Subtract the number of digits in the first name of the character who said this regularly from the number of digits in his last name to find this co-ordinate. = B

 

Seems like a nice boy

This catchphrase was used by a person adopted into a family living in  ________, a town in Warwickshire.  Number of letters in this town. = C

 

Is it because I is black?

Number of letters in the last name of this character.= D

 

Ooh you are awful … but I like you !

Number of letters in the name of this character played by Dick Emery plus 1 = E

 

I’m Free !

The memorable response from the camp character in a 1970’s sitcom.  But when was the actor playing him born?  19_5  = F

 

Don’t panic, don’t panic …

Find the real name of the actor who said this. Add together the digits of the first name and the digits of the second name, subtract 9 and what are you left with? = G

 

This time next year we’ll be millionaires

This popular actor was born on 2 February 194_  = H

 

Shaken …. Not stirred

How many letters were in the last name of this hunky character when he requested a cocktail?  = I

 

And finally:

 

Lovely Jubbly

Number of digits in the first name of the actor who plays the brother of the character whose catchphrase this is? = J

 

Now complete the co ordinates using your answers: N52 AB.CDE W001 FG.HIJ

 

The cache is a small air and water tight food container which is packed with the usual goodies including a Sir Galahad of Warwick souvenir geo coin which first to find may like to keep. The coin is uniquely numbered, but not trackable.

 

Good Luck.
