Ring a Ring a Ring Road - A Bit of Bully...Moo! Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Strangler: Over the last few weeks I have had some personal stuff going on and as a result have decided to Archive this cache. Due to poor health I have not been in a good position to maintain it and a number of my caches are in need of maintenance or replacement however on last checking the cache was still there but there was evidence a homeless person was sleeping at GZ. Also as a number of the series are missing it seems pointless having the final in place on an incomplete series.
There have been many good times and I have shared some great moments with Geocachers but in recent months it has affected my health and personal life to the extent that I have decided to distance myself from the hobby and concentrate on other things far more important.

PLEASE, May I ask that there is no speculation over my personal circumstances, email me privately and please do not post personal comments here or elsewhere.

Thank you to all that visited and found this cache.

Geocache Description:

This is the Bonus cache in the Ring a Ring a Ring Road cache series. It is not at the listed co-ordinates however it is within 2 miles of here. This location is actually the famous Birmingham Spaghetti Junction also known by its proper name, The Gravelly Hill Interchange! To find this Bonus cache you should have visited four micros placed around the A4540 Birmingham Middle Ring Road. The final is connected to another famous Birmingham Ring!

The A4540, Birminghams’ Ring Road, also known as the Middle Ring Road, or the Middleway. Some say it strangles the city, others say it takes the pressure off it. There are those that like it and those that don't. It cannot be denied it has to be there and it will be for some time to come. The ring road was planned and designed by Herbert Manzoni. A British Architect and civil engineer known for holding the position of City Engineer and Surveyor of Birmingham from 1935 until 1963. This position put him in charge of all municipal works and his influence on the city, especially following World War II completely changed the image of Birmingham The Final cache is located somewhere in the city centre in a small pleasant setting. It can be very busy and as there are benches, it is popular with lunchtime muggles. When trying to place the cache I had to return on several occasions during the day. Evenings and early mornings are a little easier. Parking is available all around the cache location but is all Pay and Display. Be warned, there are wheel clampers in operation if you choose not to use the designated parking spots. You are looking for a small round black aramis144 container that was replaced in January 2010 due to the original being muggled. It will hold small Travel Bugs and Geocoins.

You should have all the numbers from four locations in the series.
