Geocache Description:

A Trek close to one of HRH Prince Charles former schools.


UPDATE: Nov 2020
13 years after setting the cache the thatch adornment has apparently lost it's shape. So a little guessing required by you for answers to G & H. Your clue is 3 letters and it's not a rat (3rd= Roman 50).

 

The concept of this cache was borne from retrieving a travel bug and a coin

The travel bug was called Chas & Millie's Honeymoon and the coin was a FTF coin.

Being unable to find much royal ancestry in West Berkshire I thought it perhaps a good idea to create a new cache around these two items. The bug having been dormant for a year and the coin well suited to a new cache.

Your long trek to the cache begins at Headley Baptist Church where there is adequate parking (but not Sunday afternoon and Evening) and a small park for geokiddies. Cross the park to access the paved roads i.e. Ashford Hill Road, A339.

On the War Memorial locate the last name listed for the 1914-1918 war, this name is the real name of a well known celebrity,
A= First letter of this stars showbiz Christian name.
B= First letter of this stars showbiz Surname.

Continue to the end of the pavement of the A339 you will be just short of the School. YOU WILL REQUIRE BINOCULARS HERE.
C= Second letter of the first Latin word (under crest) at the school gateway.
D= Second letter of the second Latin word (under crest) at the school gateway.

Retreat a few metres up the pavement to N51° 21.637 W001° 15.401 where you will find the start of a rural footpath. Follow the path crossing a lane on the way to its end at a second lane.

Opposite the end of the footpath is a business premises.
E= First letter of this business name.
F= Seventh letter of this business name.

Follow the rural lane to your right until you reach a thatched roof.
G= The first letter of the creature depicted on the roof.
H= The second letter of the creature depicted on the roof.

Continue along the lane until you come to a footpath on your left which will lead you to the cache.

Convert all letters recorded to numers e.g. A=1...Z=6
