Geocache Description:


Granite stone Celtic cross, sat on top of a granite block with an inscription, and that is sat on 3 granite steps that make up the momument, and each step has names of those lost from the first world war. The right hand side has names of those from the second world war on it.

There is nothing hidden at the headline coordinates. These are for the War Memorial.

 

The names of those who lost their lives are on the front of the memorial. On the right hand side of the memorial, there are the names of those who lost their lives in the Second World War. You will need to use both sides to get your answers.

 

To find the cache, you will need to solve the following:

N 50 26.ABC W 004 56.DEF

A - How many words on the flower holder?

B - From the right side, the number of letters in the middle name of the man who is first on the list on the side facing upwards?

C - The number of letters in his surname?

D - The number of letters in the third word of the top line of the main front facing stone?

E - How many words on the second line of the main front facing stone?

F - How many men with the surname Kent died in the Second World War?

Checksum of A - F = 24

 

I recommend wearing sturdy footwear for access to the final, as the path will get muddy after rain and during the winter months.

Please re-hide the cache so it can't be seen, and do not move it around please. Cache is a green petling tube.

Congratulations to Joesmile on his FTF
