Geocache Description:

Its a nice easy walk to the cache, about 10 - 15 minutes, wheelchair accessible for all but the last few yards where the cache is hidden, you will then need a Compass to locate the cache.

The metal handrail with Bergen and all other information plaques have been removed. I suspect stolen for scrap as have other metal items in the area. If this is still the case when you arrive go directly to N54 57.876 W001 27.222 which will take you to the footpath leading to the park.

When you get to the coordinates walk towards Bergen, ahead you will see a road, walk along the road to the other side of the bridge, turn left onto the footpath leading to Chirton Dene Park (don't go down the steps ), in the park are a number of small footbridges, find the one with WHAT on it, (may be difficult if there is snow or ice on the ground) stand on WHAT and with your compass project a line at 309 deg for approximately 50 meters, you should be looking at a group of large boulders, the cache is just beyond.

The cache is a white 1.5 ltr plastic food container, it contains the usual Bits ’N Bobs, Log Book and pencil.

This cache is in what is 200 acres of regenerated land on the North Bank of the River Tyne, the site consists of Industry, Housing, Shopping and Leisure facilities, bringing an area of former dereliction back to life. Free car parking is available at the Royal Quays Shopping Centre, best to park near the Royal Quays pub, the Wet ‘N Wild is just across the road and is Europe's largest and most exiting indoor water fun park, so don’t forget your swimming trunks.
