Geocache Description:

This is an answer the questions type multicache set in Dixon Park (but also including a nearby war memorial). The park can be muggle prone, so please be careful when retrieving, logging and replacing the final cache.

This cache replaces a traditional cache that I used to have in the park (now archived).

Dixon Park contains a surprising number of plaques and memorials (some in better condition that others).
To solve this cache you must visit the plaques and memorials at the waypoints listed below. The waypoints can be done in any order - it doesn't matter where you start.

The plaque at the listed waypoints is also worth a read, although I haven't actually used it in setting this cache.

The final cache is at;
S42.2a.bcd E171.1e.fgh
Where the answers are given by the following clues.

The final cache is a regular sized container hidden somewhere in Dixon Park. It contains the usual assortment of items including logbook, pencils and swaps.

The park is well lit at night.
