Geocache Description:


This quest, fair knight, is to discover if thou art worthy of the Holy Grail.

The Grail itself is to be found within the remains of The Siege Perilous in the area where once the Round Table stood.

To find the Grail, thou must firstly find our gracious leige, King Arthur, who wilt furnish thee with a number that thou wilt need to find the Grail. Furthermore, thou wilt have to discover the whereabouts of five knights, who wilt equip thee with other such numbers.

These knights are:

Gawain

Cei

Bedwyr

Peredur

Leodegrance

Once thou hast these numbers, thou wilt have the information thou require to discover The Holy Grail

A location is provided for an area where thou canst leave thy steed when in search of the king. But beware! To reach Arthur, thou must walk close to a road travelled by many armoured steeds!

Do not forget to note the number that thou retreivest!

I wish thee well, fair knight, and good fortune!

King Arthur is a legendary British leader who, according to Medieval histories and romances, led the defence of Britain against Saxon invaders in the early sixth century. The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of folklore and literary invention, and his historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians. The sparse historical background of Arthur is gleaned from various sources, including the Annales Cambriae, the Historia Brittonum, and the writings of Gildas. Arthur's name also occurs in early poetic sources such as Y Gododdin. Wikipedia
