The full title of this cache is "Five Footbridges in North
Bradley" and came about because I was looking at the local OS map
and noticed 5 FBs marked on the map in a rougly circular arrangment
so I thought I could turn them into a multi-cache. One of the
bridges marked on the map is pointless - you'll see what I mean
when you get there. You will also cross other footbridges, but only
those marked on the OS map are used in this listing. Below is an
extract of the map with the marked bridges highlighted.
The posted coordinates are for the suggested parking. From there
head to WAYPOINT 1 and then to BRIDGE 1.
BRIDGE 1
This question is multiple choice. Take the
number next to the correct answer and let this be B1.
What is this bridge constructed from?
1 - Wood
2 - Brick
3 - Metal
From here head to BRIDGE 2.
BRIDGE 2
B2 = Number of vertical wooden posts
holding up the handrails.
From here head to BRIDGE 3.
BRIDGE 3
This question is multiple choice. How wide (the measurement that is
parallel to the water flow) is the bridge in metres and let this be
B3.
1 metre
2 metres
3 metres
From here head to Bridge 4. There are two ways of doing this. One
is to head directly there, but you will need to cross a single wire
strand metal fence (that is in fact broken in places) or continue
to the road. Turn left at the road (be careful here as it can be a
fast road and is on a bend. There is space to walk on the verge
without any problems) and head to WAYPOINT 2 before heading to
BRIDGE 4.
BRIDGE 4
Depending on which way you come from BRIDGE
3 this will be either the first or the second bridge you come to.
This question refers to the non-wooden bridge and is multiple
choice. Take the number next to the correct answer and let this be
B4.
What is the shape of the hole under the bridge through which the
water flows?
1 - Arched
2 - No special shape (i.e. a simple platform bridge)
3 - Circular
From here head to BRIDGE 5.
BRIDGE 5
B5 = Number of horizontal metal bars.
The final location is at:
N 51 17.(B3) (B4+B5) (B2) W 2 12.(B3) (B1) (B5-B1)
To return to the car head to WAYPOINT 1.
