The cache is based almost exactly on the RichieCactus “Close-up” cache in Guildford, which I enjoyed so much. Thanks to Richie for allowing me to re-use the concept.
The initial coordinates above are just to get you started - the cache itself is at the other end of town. Allow a couple of hours.
Discover where each photograph was taken, answer the question that goes with it, and you will reveal the co-ordinates for the cache. The clues for the questions are usually within a few metres of the photo.
All locations are around the town centre on West Street, Downing Street, The Borough, South Street, Union Road or tucked away in the Yards and Alleys that adjoin them. There is one exception and that is near the suggested parking – close to the Udder for those that have completed the Farnham Ramble.
Note that the pictures have been jumbled up slightly, so keep your eyes open.
A : What is the date on this Weathervane - 19A9 ?
B : It’s not number 10, but what number is it?

E : This is your hint for the cache hide. In which direction does this plaque face?

- North : Ground Level, in Oak tree roots
- West : About Waist Height under Caching sticks

F : A distinctive statue, but what is the number in its name “Projection F”?
Note : The nameplate has disappeared. Until it returns, F is the number of bolts holding the statue to the ground divided by 4
