Sir PhilPamAndRob: Each stage had a jeep TB in it, but now the yellow and white are no longer there, and the green was in a fire, time to archive this cache
Thanks to all who found it

Geocache Description:

The first cache we ever found in 1995 was called “Royden Ramble” - GCMX7V, and was hidden within Royden Park. This cache will also take you on a lovely walk from the park. It is a multi-cache which will involve finding five stages before the final cache. All stages and the final cache are next to public footpaths.

Each stage is a small container which contains a six character code that will lead you to the next stage in this multi-cache (Note : Only stage 1 has its code on a laminated card). Convert any letters to numbers in the usual way (A=1, B=2 C=3 etc) and then use these numbers in the co-ordinates below (a pocket calculator may be useful as well as a pen and paper!). Please ensure all stage containers and contents are left exactly as found for those that follow you.

Stage 1 - At the co-ordinates at the top of this listing.
Contains first code word needed to find stage 2, plus further instructions.

Stage 2 – N 53 21.((1st + 2nd) * 3rd) + 6th
