Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES - but you could enjoy a pint there while you work out the clues.

You'll need to solve the puzzle to find the coordinates for the cache.

You're looking for a 35mm film canister. When you've found the coordinates you'll be able to park right next to the spot, or walk there from one of my other caches - it's wheelchair-accessible although some reaching is needed, and buggies, kids and dogs should all be fine.

Start with the link between

- A Yorkshire-born shipowner's-son turned actor who can be spotted at N 51 29.965 W 000 07.488

- A nominally porcine meteorologist whose namesake was in charge at S 42 52.886 E 147 19.996

- A former monarch from N 31 57.191 E 035 55.667.

Take them initially to the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Senegal, Barbados and Israel, and you'll find the cache at

N 51 AB.CDD W 000 BA.(B x A)E

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Joint FTF honours go to tez_i and smudge 42. Geochecker reveals that perhaps a less than scientific approach may have been taken - but there's always more than one way to solve a puzzle!
