Geocache Description:


The coordinates given are for the car parking area at Ryton Pools Country Park. In order to get the cache coordinates all you have to do is solve the clues given below. This may involve getting some answers from the internet before you go to the park where you will find the rest of the answers. Parking at the park costs £2.50 (2 June 2017Update:- Sorry, now £3.50) but there is parking places outside of the park with a short walk back. The best place to start is at the visitors centre. The first clue will be found at the seating area outside of the centre and the rest will be found if you follow the yellow route around the park.(which is about 1.25 miles long) you can go either clockwise or anticlockwise as the answers are not in any order.
