Geocache Description:

This multi-cache will take you on a tour around the Birmingham University campus. It is made up of 4 locations to get clues from, and these clues will help find the location of the (nano) cache itself. The terrains is mainly pavement, and this cache could taken between 30 and 90 minutes depending on how fast you go!

Note 1: You should never need to wander far from any of the clue locations (i.e. no more than 30 metres in any direction) - the reason I say this is due to people wandering too far for the CD clue!

Note 2: This is a replica of GC26TE5 "Sammo's Birmingham University Multi", which got archived when the hiding place became inaccessible. It is now available again, and so the cache has been recreated (it could not be re-opened as had been archived for too long). Congratulations to the members who found the original cache:
