A Railway & A River Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Jenny&James: This was our very first geocache, placed over 9 years ago!
Time to archive this one as it has not been found for such a long time.
Maybe the fact that it is a 'Multi' put cachers off?
Will replace with a large 'Traditional' caceh instead.

Geocache Description:

This is a short walk of less than 1 mile from car door to car door,
and should take about 40 minutes to complete. The route is mostly
flat with only short slopes. The paths may be muddy and so
unfortunately not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs.

The posted co-ordinates take you to a notice board at the start of the Bristol and Bath cyclepath. There is plenty of free on-street parking very close by.

Study the noticeboard, and answer the following questions:

When did Stothert & Pitt close? Call this ABCD
When did the railway from Mangotsfield to Bristol open? Call this EFGH

Go to: N51 23.(A+E)(H-E)(F-E) W002 24.(A+E)DC

There are some numbers at your feet here. Call this JKLM

Stay on THIS SIDE of the river, and,

Go to: N51 23.(D-M)B(L-G) W002 24.(G+A)M(J-K)

You should now be standing on a wooden structure! How many HORIZONTAL railings run along the entire length of the structure?

Call this N

The cache is hidden at: N51 23.(N-L)(N-J)(M-L) W002 24.(J-G)(C-G)(A+H)

You are looking for a cylindrical plastic container about 10cms tall. The cache is large enough to store coins and small trackable items. There is a log book and a pencil within the cache. Please be mindful of muggles when retrieving the cache, as the area is very popular with walkers and cyclists!
