This cache has been archived.

thisisace: This was one of the first caches that we hid - it originally had a question for every single digit of the coordinates! - but I think it's had its time now.
Thanks to everyone who followed its trail.

Geocache Description:

This is a clue-gathering wander around the Cambridgeshire village of Eye, keeping your eyes open for the clues around you ! Parking is available at Eye Library, when the library is not open (it's part time) and the adjoining Youth Centre is not in use. (If the building is being used, please use on-street parking nearby, as parking at the building is very limited.)

Start at N52º 36.603 W 0º 11.184 and find the "Girls School" entrance.
Standing here, there are 3 street names facing you. The shortest street name (including both words for each) has A letters in it. (A is a 2 digit number)
Head along this shortest street, keeping your eyes peeled.

How many people altogether on the decorative Eye Town sign ? This is B.

On the Day Nursery sign, the windows are a colour with C letters in it ?

There are D letters in the whole name of the road which goes down the side of the Chinese Takeaway.

Camarthin has a date: it's #EF#.

Carry on until you reach the Fish & Chip shop. Now cross over the road and head back along the other side, towards where you started.

The family who own the butchers have G letters in their name. (You don't need the 's.)

Bedford Cottages were built in H#I#.

If you want to hire the hall, you need to ring Brenda, who has J letters in her surname.

There are L red letters in the name above the door of the buffet restaurant.

The house number of Chaff House is P. (P is a 2 digit number.)

Carry on to the bench on the corner. Have a seat and work out your co-ordinates below. It's a bit of a walk, so you might want to grab your vehicle to take you part of the way.

The final cache is at:
N 52º 36. F (C+H) L
W 0º J. E (D÷B) (P-G)
