Geocache Description:

This walk is approximately 3km up and down Leckhampton hill (just outside Cheltenham). All stage clues are close to well-worn tracks so you shouldn’t need to travel too far from a path. Allow yourself at least 3 hours to complete this challenge.

This cache is in memory of Grandad Fish who not only collected packs of cards but also liked to play cards. The stakes were always high – you could win or lose a fortune (sadly not money but ripped up pieces of paper). Sometimes, just for fun a window or door would “accidentally” be opened and all your winnings could disappear in a flurry.
It would be nice to use the final cache to trade packs of cards (small packs only).

A few rules of the game: No Jokers are being played. An Ace is low and picture cards are worth ten.

A BIG TIP: as you progress on this multi cache you need to write down or remember who has what in their hand!

Enjoy the trek and good luck.
