Geocache Description:

A silent table is a multicache that takes you on a circular walk around the city walls of Canterbury.

Each waypoint gives you the co-ordinates for the next waypoint. The title of this cache is a clue to the final location where a small cache can be found. The cache is in a heavy muggle area so please watch carefully and choose your moment. It is impossible to see the cache but it can be felt. Please use the clue if in difficulty rather then make the muggles suspicious. There are a number of benches nearby where you can take the cache to sign the log book etc. Please hide carefully, again choosing a moment when no muggles are approaching.

April 08 This cache has been muggled once, the undergrowth is less dense then when it was first hidden. please re hide carefully using the sticks if neccessary to hide from any passing muggles.
