Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache that introduces the geocacher to the Norfolk village of Mulbarton. *SOME CLUES NEED TO BE SOLVED ONLINE*, but you will need to visit locations around the village to secure the cache itself.

A reasonably easy walk on paths and pavements. Should take the average walker less than an hour to walk round and get the goods.




The above coordinates are not for the cache itself, but perhaps the most appropriate place to park, outside St. Mary Magdalene church.

The cache is located at NORTH52 AB.CDE EAST1 FG.HJK

A = The number of International caps won by footballer Maurice Norman, who was born in the village, subtract 20.
B = The number of letters in the last word of the village pub name.
C = Queen Elizabeth I visited Mulbarton in 157B.
D = Add the digits in the number of the bus service that serves the village from Norwich then subtract 7.
E = At Waypoint 1 you will find a stone laid into a wall. Add together the digits on the year it was laid, add one and then divide by seven.
F = The number of post offices in the village.
G = On the milestone near the village pub, the number of miles shown 'to Norwich' subtract one.
H = The number of years after the silver jubilee that the village sign was unveiled.
J = The number of years that Alfred outlived his wife Barbara
K = At Waypoint 2 look up and you will find a building with a date on it. Add the digits to find K.

The cache itself is a small clip-lock box containing a log book, pencil and other small items. There is room for TB's and GC's.
