Geocache Description:

A series of magnetic Micro caches, of varying styles and sizes. The aim on these caches are to introduce the visitor to some areas of the city the may not have seen, and perhaps surprise the local cacher with something they may not have seen before.

The world famous JORVIK Viking Centre is a ‘must-see’ for visitors to the city of York and is one of the most popular visitor attractions in the UK outside London. An exciting day out where you can travel back 1000 years through a reconstruction of the actual Viking-Age streets, exactly where archaeologists found their original remains. The cache is not in or on the Viking Centre itself. The cache is in St Mary's Square which has a seated area and lots of shops.
This cache is in a high Muggle zone so stealth and subterfuge is required here.

Bring your own pencil.

Look out for the art work on the walls around York. There are two paintings in Coppergate. See www.thegrandtourinyork.org.uk for more information. Paintings will be there till 28th Sept 2008.
