Bearing the above in mind, here's a little test of observational skills around some virtual locations in Guildford. The tour takes you to some less obvious spots, some interesting, some less so. Your task is to find the bits that link. Not easy when there may be quite a few things to see at each location. I have left some hints below as GPS can be unreliable in built-up areas. You may find that not all of the virtuals will require a visit!
The co-ordinates on this page are the starting position for virtual location "A". For many, it may also be pretty close to your entrance point into Guildford.
The cache co-ordinates will be found at: N51 AB.CD W00 EF.GH

I suspect some of this jigsaw will be tricky to put together, hence the difficulty rating. There may be ambiguity at some of the virtuals, and there is ambiguity in the code translation (but the cache title is supposed to help just a little with that). All this ambiguity may be deliberate, or may be accidental - it's hard to tell with some cache setters!! The puzzle is not intended to be complicated, so I hope you pick up the theme.
All waypoints are viewable from positions where it is legal for you to be there, but getting to the actual spots may not be possible. There is NO NEED AT ALL to trespass in completing this cache.
There is one waypoint ("C") where parking is tricky, so I have given warning of that. Either walk there, or have a driver who can do a little circuit whilst you write down everything around that might make up part of the clue.
For the final cache, I strongly recommend parking to the North West of the final cache location. All other possible parking areas have problems.
