Geocache Description:

A nice level stroll of just under 2 miles with some lovely views of the wildfowl on Radipole lake.

The cache is in a small cylindrical klip lok container.
The co-ordinates given are for suggested parking. Charges unfortunately apply. It costs £1.60 for 2 hours. Longer is available if needed. Charges also apply for persons displaying a disabled sticker. There are other town centre car parks.
The walk from the co-ordinates given to the cache is approximately 2 miles.
To find the cache you will have to solve the following puzzle, a su doku.
The su doku puzzle reached craze status in Japan in 2004 and the craze spread to the UK through the puzzle pages of national newspapers.

It consists of a 9x9 grid that has been subdivided into 9 smaller grids of 3x3 squares.
Each puzzle has a logical and unique solution. To solve the puzzle, each row, column and box must contain each of the numbers 1 to 9.
It will either be necessary to print a copy of the attached image or draw yourself a 9 x 9 su doku grid and copy the numbers and letters in. The * represent a blank square.
