Clue-72

Thanks for the DING! It was the Hammer hint that jogged my memory. Next question... What was the first excursion arranged by travel entrepreneur Thomas Cook in 1841?

Is it "Quatermass and the Pit"? Was Hobbs the name of the tube station?

Did you apply some funky post-processing to that? It looks unreal, like an illustration in an old book, being a bit grainy and oversaturated. I like it. I ran it through a photoshop plugin to pop out the colours. The original was a little washed out.

This photo represents two milestones for me... my 400th find and my first cache in the USA. It was taken on Silver Mountain in Idaho, on my way to the Nature Trail [GC1EYF7] cache.

I'm guessing those other 3 words would be "Prime Minister of" Canada.

Two very quick correct answers posted at the same time.. but the DING has to go to MartyBartfast for just getting there first.

Thanks for the DING ( and thanks for the nudge in the right direction MartyBartfast ) Next question... For which writer was the name Gerald Wiley a pseudonym?

In that case would it be that Lewis Carroll wrote Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and also wrote Jabberwocky which was a film directed by Terry Gilliam who also directed Brazil? Not sure what year Jabberwocky came out though...

I had to cross this bridge near Apsley station on my way back to the car after a very soggy find at Shendish Walk: ICT a couple of weeks ago.

And the DING! goes to Beach Hut for remembering that they were all indeed drummers with Spinal Tap before they each met a tragic end.

Close, but not quite enough information to get the ding.

Lucky guess! Thanks for the DING. Who were: John "Stumpy" Pepys, Eric "Stumpy Joe" Childs, Peter "James" Bond, Mick Shrimpton and Joe "Mama" Besser?

I'm pretty sure it was "In Cold Blood" and I have a feeling it was somewhere rural, so I'll take another guess and go for Kansas.

Ooops, sorry... double post!

I'll take a guess and go for Tennessee.

That's a DING! It was indeed Mark Felt, the Associate Director of the FBI at the time of the Watergate break-in.

Thanks for the ding! Who revealed, in 2005, that he had been the secret informant known as Deep Throat during the Watergate scandal of the 1970s?

I reckon it's earlier than that, and the earliest I can think of is The Thing From Another World.

A couple of pictures for this month's competition. The first was taken last week on the way to Along The Dyke just outside High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire... ...and the second was taken today as I made my 1000th find at One Degree West at a mystery location in Oxfordshire.

View of Langley Lake near the Capability Brown cache site.

Many thanks to those who submitted their pictures, though I'm afraid Team Airtomoreira missed the deadline. I found it quite tricky to judge as they were all so different, but I think the one that really stood out as being a unique caching experience that fit well with the theme was the photo of the flooded fort by Splendidz. Congratulations. Over to you, Splendidz!

Would it be Doc - for drsolly's Chiltern Hundred series?

That's a DING! for Team Noodles! Billy Gilbert - Sneezy Pinto Colvig - Sleepy and Grumpy Otis Harlan - Happy Roy Atwell - Doc Scotty Mattraw - Bashful Eddie Collins - Dopey

It might have helped more than you realise!

Thanks for the ding, now for the next question... Who were Billy Gilbert, Pinto Colvig, Otis Harlan, Roy Atwell, Scotty Mattraw and Eddie Collins?
