Geocache Description:

Hillfield Gardens, London Road, Gloucester

This is the second of a series of four caches based on Ermin Street, the Roman Road that runs from Gloucester (Glevum) to Cirencester (Corinium) then on to Silchester. The section near Gloucester is also on the No. 10 bus route which runs from Tuffley via the City Centre to Brockworth then on to Cheltenham via Shurdington so the entire series can be visited by using the bus. The four caches contain additional numbers which wiil enable the completion of a Sudoku grid which will provide the cordinates for the fifth and final cache.
Hillfield Gardens contain two interesing buildings, Scriven's Conduit which was originally erected in Southgate Street in 1636 bringing water to the City from Robinswood Hill, and The King's Board, a gazebo built from the old medieval market house which stood in the City centre in the 14th Century.
The cache is a small tobacco tin hidden in the gardens.
The nearest No. 10 bus stop is in London Road near the entrance to the gardens (N51 52.132 W002 13.849)
Note - there is no pen in the cache so bring your own!
Please let me know when only one sudoku sheet remains.
