AGTSSP - Stage 11 - Take a Walk
Click here for the cache page. This is an event puzzle with difficulty = 3. The part we need is
I was going to take you to 1°24'N 25°00'E, but you would need a special suit and Richard Branson to find that one. Or you would have to click on the little Saturn button in GE and try looking at the moon. Or you could try checking out the source of all this.
The puzzzle is much more down to earth.
From the solution go .22 miles at a bearing of 206 degrees and find someone famous. Use his name for the password (same scheme as before, i.e. christian names and surname with no blanks). Enter the password in lowercase on the file at the link below.

Solution
There is no hint, so the clues are on the cache page. The cache page says I was going to take you to 1°24'N 25°00'E. Entering those coords in Google Earth gives you a rainforest in the middle of Africa, so that looks wrong. I also say you need a special suit and Richard Branson or you would have to click on the little Saturn button in GE and try looking at the moon. All of which was meant to lead you to space and the moon in Google Earth. Click on the little Saturn icon, choose Moon and enter the coords again. and you get a crater called Armstrong. I also say could try looking at the source of all this. The source of the cache page contains the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_crater
All of which was a rather long-winded way of saying this was something to do with Space / stars / the other Armstrong / whatever. The symbols in the picture are in fact the star signs from the Zodiac. Decoding them gives 5 2 3 8 3 5 10 and 1 4 2 5 7 2 - changing those to coords gives N52 38.350 W001 42.572. Try entering that in Google Earth (it says down to earth, so Google Earth, not Moon), make sure you have Roads ticked in the bottom left Layers and you end up in the middle of an industrial estate where all the road names are things like Apollo, Mariner etc. You actually land on a road called Armstrong and then the instructions say from the solution go .22 miles at a bearing of 206 degrees and find someone famous. Doing this you end up on a road called Gagarin - the first man in Space. Look up his full name and use this as instructed on the download and you will get
Congratulations!
