Victoria Park Gambol Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Robbo 666: Visited final cache site today - it's been muggled.

Looks like yobs have smashed up the entire area :-( There was cache debris, and what looked like items stolen from the nearby bowling club scattered around :-(

I've moved away from the area, and can now no longer make maintenance trips - time for this one to go forever - sorry folks.

Geocache Description:

A multi in the wonderful Victoria Park - lots to see and do - many play areas for little cachers - plenty of places to sit with cracking views over Bristol for older cachers ;-)

The paths are good, although a little steep in places (if you come across steps there is always an alternative sloping path nearby for push chairs etc).

Total walk is about 1.5km.

The final cache is a 300ml box - plenty of rooms for swaps, when launched contained log, pencil, TB and treasure for little seekers.

Stage 3 - A-mazing

Go to N51.26.(B+2)5(A-6) W002.35.(B-2)0(B-2)
