Chaotica_UK: Despite an extensive search yesterday I cannot find a suitable spot to replace the container for this cache, if however I find somewhere suitable next time I am in this part of Bristol I will resurrect this cache. Thank you to all that have visited.

Geocache Description:

Bored to death by the TV programme? Here is a nice and easy “city night” cache for you and your family. Ideal in winter when it gets dark very early. Clean boots guaranteed.

At the given coordinates you will find yourself exactly where the background photo was taken. From this spot all clues and the cache itself are within a circle with a radius of ~400m. Stay on busy roads and places.

Your task now is to find the locations where the different fluorescent letters have been photographed. When you have found a location, count the number of letters in the word from which the fluorescent letter has been taken. Note this number as you will need it later to calculate the cache coordinates.

For Bristol take the letters A-G.
For Night take the letters H-L.

The three features in the centre of the picture are also somewhere to find. They won’t earn you anything but they tell you that you're reasonably close (max 200m) to the fluorescent letters.

Letters that have changed since we set up the cache
The O is only illuminated during the opening hours, i.e. in summer time it won't be on after dark, but still very easy to find.
You don't need to look for i,s and t in Bristol anymore, as these letters are gone. That should make the cache a bit easier.

Final
N 51° 27.(A-G)(K-L-J)(B-I-I)
W 002° 36.(F-H)(G)(J-A)

Retrieving the Micro
The final location is in a very busy place. We suggest you sit down and feel rather than look for the cache.

Have fun!

Some had fun.... Thank you Captain Gore-tex for this image.

Hint: You will find the letters if your route looks similar to this one:
