GC73D7 On Location with Dads Army (Multi-cache) in United Kingdom created by Icenians

This cache has been archived.

Icenians: I've realised that this cache is currently cross posted with TC and as cross posting is frowned upon over there I'm archiving this here.

It's not as a huff or anything like that I just feel this cache fits the requirements of TC better and feel that GC has more than enough caches anyway.

It's still a cache and still in place just need to log it elsewhere if you want it :)

Geocache Description:

A cache hunt that takes you to a number of locations used in the filming of the Dads Army television series.

The position given is for the car park to the first clue.

The final cache is located at N5F° FE.HHA E0° 5C.DGB

In order to find the cache you will need to do a bit of driving around Norfolk and Suffolk. Each location was used in the filming of the Dads Army television series during the 60’s and 70’s.

At each location you should find a number, there is a clue with each location. The number is used in place of the letter to give you the final position of the cache.

The cache itself is located in an area believed to have been used during filming. Each of the clue locations was defiantly used.
