Geocache Description:

The first of two puzzles in the style of another cache setter. Not at the published coordinates, which are for a pub.

a = one who stands out
c = rank
h = observed between cacti and garden flowers
p = N 52 59.275, W 1 53.525

where c, h and a gives p

Q = the second digit of c, the second digit of a, the penultimate digit of a

R = the 1st digit of h, the last digit of h, the third digit of c

S = R - Q

T*U = 3rd digit of a

The cache is hidden at:

N 51 1U.R W 000 2T.S

Check your solution at the link below and get the clues for the other cache of the pair in this mini-series.

It took that extraordinary puzzle solver Gary Honey over two weeks to solve this one, in league with another local puzzle champion (Agglet). This must be a record. I therefore have added these further hints!
