Geocache Description:


This is a quintessential puzzle cache and can be found in quintessential English countryside. I placed it for a team of cachers who always seem to be 'killing time' in this area!

The cache is not at the published coordinates. To work out where to find it you will need to solve the themed puzzle below:

 

A former footballer and MBE who was born in Dublin, Ireland. He played for Arsenal, Manchester City and Sunderland, scoring 141 goals. 

  • A = 2nd letter of his first name.

An American record producer, responsible for the production of Michael Jacksons, 'Thriller' and 'Bad'.

  • B = 1st letter of his middle name.

A Canadian romance novelist who penned 'High Heaven', 'Outlaw Heart' and 'One Shining Summer' among her other works.

  • C = 5th letter of her surname.

An outer coastal suburb of Perth, Western Australia. 

  • D = The 3rd letter of the second word.

The fictional medicine woman played by Jane Seymour.

  • E = 5th letter of her first name.

A folk-rock song written and first recorded by Bob Dylan, later released by Manfred Mann. Which exonym is used to describe the 'Mighty' one?

  • F = 4th letter of the exonym.

The DC antihero, sidekick and love interest of the Joker.

  • G = 1st letter of her first name.

An intermittent river approximately 110 miles long, formally known as Queen River can be found in which American state? 

  • H = 2nd letter of the American state.

The inventor and technical whizz voiced by Preston Nyman in '3rd and Bird'. What type of bird is he?

  • J = 3rd letter in the type of bird.

The 6th President of the United States of America.

  • K = 2nd letter of his surname.
 
 
 
Once you have found all the answers you will need to convert the appropriate letters into their numeric value based on their position in the alphabet. (A=1, Z=26).
 
 
The cache can be found at:
N51 0(A-C-E).(J)(G)(H-D) E000 5(D+K-H).(B+K)(F-B)(C)
