A Visit to the Big Top
**********************
When my friend Ian Sloane's parents took me to the circus for a New Year's day treat, I couldn't have been more excited. The tent, though huge, was surprisingly intimate, like a cosy room -- but with such a view. The man in the centre was a commanding presence: he had apparently restarted this five-ring circus after a long period of closure. And what things there were to see: a female tiger who, after her act had ended, eluded her catcher with what seemed like a wry grin. Although this magnificent feline had entertained Mr Sloane, he seemed much more interested in the next artist as she climbed up her rope, adopting amazing and improbable leg and body positions. There were low points, of course. The clowns were a banal band; Ian nudged me during their "frolics" when he spied four Russian acrobats warming up off-stage. In what seemed to be an instant, it was all over and the crowds trudged out. As I glanced backwards, the magic was not lost even though I saw one of the clowns, now dressed in civvies, hoovering up some stray sawdust outside the tiger's cage. Finally, after gorging on junk food and reliving our favourite moments for the umpteenth time, it was nearly midnight as we rode home in reverential silence.
To find the cache work out
(6*C*F/I) - ((B-43)/5) for the Northing
and

Please do not leave any spoliers in the logs, and I hope you all have a great 2007!
