Geocache Description:

A multicache taking you on a short walk around some of Tewkesburys landmarks. The questions have been set by my eldest son and this is the result of his efforts.

The co-ords are suggested parking in Tewkesbury from which each of the clues is easily accessible. The final cache is a short walk from the parking. You will need to solve the following to find the cache site and also please be aware that Google has some different answers..

Question 1: N51 59.489 W 002 09.798 According to the noticeboard, the ancient right to graze animals on the second crop of grass was secured by an Act of which year? Answer = 1AB8

Question 2: N 51 59.495 W 002 09.687 This clue can only be approaced from Church Street. What is the date of the Baptist Burial Ground? Answer = 1CDD

Question 3: N 51 59.785 W 002 09.435 What is the date associated with Nafford Lock? Answer = 1EFG

Question 4: N 51 59.235 W 002 09.552 How much was paid for Tewkesbury Abbey by the Burgesses of Tewkesbury in 1543? Answer = £HIJ

The final cache is located at: N 51 D(B+E).(E-I)E F W 002 0(D+H). C(A+H-J)(G-D) Final GZ checksum: total of all digits in the answers = 56

Be aware that the cache site has periods of high muggle activity so stealth will be required at these times. Please also be aware that you do not need to enter the graveyard to get the cache. Congratulations to Oly 'n' Kate on being FTF
