Poppies on Parade 'Blackwater' Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

drdick&vick: This has been checked out and it seems that the recent extreme weather has caused a lot of tree falls and destruction and the hiding place and cache is no more [:(]
As we will not be in the region for some months I have decided to archive and re-hide if a hide place becomes available.
Thanks to everybody who has taken the time to read about the locals who lost their lives!

Poppies on Parade caches are caches that are placed to encourage people to visit the locations of War Memorials.
Due to the location of this Memorial I have had to make it an off set.

The above co-ords are for the War Memorial in Blackwater which you need to visit to aquire some information to calculate the final co-ords for the cache. There is plenty of parking close by.
