Geocache Description:

Calling all lazy cachers - a whole street name series in one puzzle!

The above co-ordinates are for parking, where there is space for 1-2 cars. The final cache location is within a mile.

This puzzle can be solved in more than one way. The required information can be gathered by visiting all of the ten waypoints below – or alternatively, you can get the same result in a fraction of the time while sitting down, by using a site such as Google Maps, or even your GPS (if it has a map function with street names).

The waypoints listed below are all for Northfield street names which share a particular theme.

Find all the ten street names, then list them in alphabetical order 1 - 10. The cache is located at North 52 QR.STU West 001 VW.XYZ where:

A=0, B=1, C=2, D=3, E=4, F=5, G=6, H=7, I=8, J=9:

Q = (fifth letter of third name plus fifth letter of eighth name)
R = (sixth letter of fourth name minus third letter of seventh name)
S = (first letter of fourth name)
T = (second letter of sixth name)
U = (second letter of fifth name minus fourth letter of fifth name)
V = (first letter of third name)
W = (second letter of seventh name minus first letter of second name)
X = (fifth letter of tenth name)
Y = (seventh letter of second name)
Z = (fourth letter of ninth name minus first letter of first name)

The cache is a plastic peach jar nestling in a hand-knitted camo cover. It contains a special prize of a ‘First To Find’ scoubie, some loot and a logbook. Please rehide the cache as well or better than you found it.
