Please note that this cache is NOT available 24/7, as the
Riverwalk is closed during events (see
picture) and opening times may differ throughout the year.
Secondly, you will have to bring your own writing
equipment.
The Millennium Stadium
Not far from Cardiff castle, this huge building is a significant
landmark in Cardiff’s skyline. With its retractable roof and
special stadium turf which can be removed, it is a truly
multi-functional venue, which can be used for sports events and
concerts.
The mosaic plaque which can be found on Cardiff’s
Millennium Stadium Riverwalk represents cultural and historic
emblems of countries associated with New South Wales and was laid
to underline the co-operation on education between Wales and New
South Wales (
Visit Link!)
Opposite the Millennium Stadium you can find the Taff trail,
which winds its way down along the river Taff (
Visit Link!), a track suitable for pedestrians and cyclists.
For those who like to follow the Taff river, there are more caches
along this trail, which we can heartily recommend!
The cache coordinates are for the mosaics close to the building
and you will need to answer a couple of questions about them first.
The England mosaic is number one and you will have to find the
other mosaics by counting from there:
Number 19:
how many letters in colour of mammal at the top = A
Number 5:
how many letters in the name of the object which you usually eat
for breakfast (top row) = B
Number 13:
how many icons in the left column and bottom row = C
Number 21:
how many letters in the name of this
country = D
Number 18:
how many letters in the name of this fish = E
Number 2:
how many stars in the flag = F
Cache can be found at: N51 28.ABC W003 10.DEF
Extra check: A + B + C + D + E + F = 38
If you are interested in finding
the final bonus cache, have a look at the picture on the first
sheet of the log and guess which river is depicted on it. It might
be handy to take a camera with you to photograph the information
and do the research at home.
This cache is part of a series of caches around Cardiff's
rivers, but as we are waiting for the completion of the Ely trail
the series is still unfinished.
