Geocache Description:

To find this cache you will need to take the necessary steps... and wear comfy shoes!

Visit the waypoints and answer the following question at each one: "from top to bottom, how many steps?"

Location one = ABC
Location two = DEF
Location three = GHI

Counting check: total number of steps = 510.

Now to find serenity (something all cachers need every now and then). The cache is hidden at...
S 45 5 (C-G) . (B+D) (I+A) (E+H)
E 170 3 (G-H) . (E-D) (B-F) (B-H)

There is a bit of walking involved, and most of it up and down steps. Probably not a lunchtime dash, but a good afternoon wander.

The final location is quite exposed and close to a bus stop. This site has been muggled twice before, please ensure the cache is tucked away safely. Once upon a time the container was a statue of budda (very serene) but now the only serenity you will find is the view. It is most serene at night. The new container is a 200ml snaplock, covered in black tape. It holds a few small swaps and one of the first logs.
Happy Hunting
