Part of a series of 9 caches celebrating the engineering marvel

This Cache is on a public footpath and should be wheelchair
accessible.
Extreme Stealth will be required here when retrieving this magnetic

"Nine for mortal men doomed to die!"
With a plan to hide one micro cache per junction making nine in
total, the line from Tolkein's riddle seemed an appropriate name

attempt to get to grips with it's idiosyncracies.
The caches in this series are placed within sight of the main ring
road junctions.
Once you've found the cache, take some time to look around the
local area here.
A short distance away can be found the Cook street gate, one of the
only two remaining city gates:
