Now then...
First find the "Whole Sedan" (Wolram you may remember this. ) From there go 22.27 km on a heading of 71.72 degrees, find a "tower", a screenshot from G Earth or the coordinates will do. This place is on Earth although you can't walk to it.

 

[wolram]

Darn it 1oldman2, i need another clue.

 

[hsdrop]

me too please

 

[1oldman2]

Okay, Sedan isn't a car or a planetary body, think big big bang. there is more to "whole" than initially meets the eye.

It is no good i can not find any thing, Sedna, Andes? but what has that to do with the big bang

 

[Jonathan Scott]

I tried various words like "universe" or "universal" but couldn't find enough in the clue to narrow it down.

 

[1oldman2]

big bang

Think nuclear Sedan.

 

[tionis]

The sedan nuclear crater!

 

[1oldman2]

[Jonathan Scott]

The rest of the instructions appear to land up at a hexagonal tower within some sort of airfield (using trigonometry as I don't know of any Google Maps way to do bearings and distances as suggested), but the area is strikingly anonymous.

Ah, should have guessed: Groom Lake - Area 51

 

[1oldman2]

Ah, should have guessed: Groom Lake - Area 51

With pretty good resolution too. The tower was the goal, your up!

 

[tionis]

I concede my turn to any of the distinguished gentlemen above me.

How did you get the bearing and distance? I'm interested to know.

 

[Jonathan Scott]

A professor took a picture of me in the midnight hour
then I faded away like the freshness of a morning shower

Aren't we still awaiting a further clue or answer to this one? Or did I miss something?

I concede my turn to any of the distinguished gentlemen above me.

I'd prefer to resolve yours first (assuming I didn't miss it).
