Geocache Description:



This multi-cache involves a walk around Birkenhead Lower Park, collecting information as you go. You only need to visit a half a dozen locations, but how lucky do you feel? Will they be the first you visit, or will they be the last?

The co-ordinates above are for the parks famous Swiss Bridge. Neither cache nor stage is there, but its well worth a visit to see this beautifully restored bridge.


To assist you with your quest, there is a grid below in which you can records your findings. The first location is already completed for you, so you need not visit that location!

One of the locations below is a “red herring” and does not contain any details for you!
But which one is it? You’ll have to check each VERY carefully to ensure it’s not there, as a wrong guess could mean a return visit

The final cache is hidden at :

N 53° 23.( O + F + V ) * ( M * I ) W 003° 02.( Z * O * I) + M

so once you have found the required information, you can go and find the cache

Please note that although the park is open to pedestrians at all times, the large vehicular gates are locked at dusk. If you are attempting this cache in the evening it is advisable to leave your car outside the park so it does not get locked inside.

Thanks to the Birkenhead Park Rangers for all their assistance in placing this cache.
