At the posted location in the centre of Bristol you will find
clues to give you the co-ordinates for the final cache, which is a
short walk away.
The co-ordinates are for the statue of Neptune in Bristol city
centre. Between there and the edge of the dock you will find the
answers to the following questions:
Which year did Neptune move to Victoria Street? Answer =
18ba
What year was "The Sailors' Friend" born? Answer = c8de
Which year did he go to parliament? Answer = 18g8
Sebastian set sail with his dad in which year? Answer = 1h9j
Which year did the trail named in honour of the father open? Answer
= 19f2. Add together the digits of the day it opened to give k.
Cache is located at: N51 ab.de(k+2) W002 fg.(h+1)(c-1)(j+1)
Checksum: a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+j+k = 42
Once you've worked out the final destination, the cache should
be in a public place, a leisurely 15 mins walk away. It is a
camoflaged plastic fruit jar. Aside from a logbook and pen, it
originally contained:
- Magnetic clip
- Mini toolkit keyring
- Extending keyring
- Nail varnish and nail tattoos
- Stickers
- Squishy egg
- Geonut geocoin
- Show Me the Way to Go Home travel bug
Happy hunting!
