Geocache Description:

This is about a 3km walk around Birdlip Hill on the outskirts of Cheltenham. All stages of this multi cache have questions with a movie theme to them.

 

The above coordinates lead to a car park that provides excellent views over Gloucestershire and into Wales. 

 

Before you get to the carpark you might want to get some refreshments at N51º 50.600 W002º 05.804. This establishment might have been useful in a 1956 travel film starring David Niven. Look outside to find a sign for a ‘colourful monarch’. Add the first and last numeric digits on this sign then divide the number in the film title by this value to give you A.

 

After your refreshments park at the start coordinates and walk to   N51º 50.207 W002º 06.058 . What can you see here? You might have seen a musical one of these in a Steve Martin ‘friendly’ western. Take however many of these you see here from the numeric in the film title to give you B.

 

Now find the sign at N51º 50.202 W002º 06.088 .Find the location with the initials B. C. This could have been a useful location for a 1994 Richard Curtis film. How far in miles to this location? Add 1 to this number then divide the number in the film title by this answer to give you C.

 

Now follow the path to N51º 50.032 W002º 06.503. How many can you see on one side of the fence? You might have also found some of these in a 1935 film title by Alfred Hitchcock. Minus the number you’ve found from the number in the film title. Add the two digits in this answer together to give you D (also a 2 digit answer).

 

You’re nearly there so head onto N51º 50.082 W002º 06.858. What can you see here? This part of the landscape could also have been the name of a character in a 1979 ‘all American’ sports movie. In the many sequels of the movie, which one was this?  This number will give you E.

 

Now put answers into N51º 50.DC W002º 06.EBA for the final location. Good luck and good hunting.
