Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the Commuter Cache group placed along all three routes of the Sheffield Supertram- see the whole of Sheffield on one caching route!!!

There are puzzle caches dotted throughout the route in order to keep you active in both mind and body.

Enjoy!!!

p.s. This series will be a test of your stealth skills as these areas are generally very busy, so you must be as subtle as possible. (We found ourselves 'tying our shoes' a lot)

A pair of caching tweezers will also be an essential on this route as there are a few nano's about.

The co-ordinates given in the cache details will take you to the first site where you will need to answer the first question.

There are a total of 5 sites to visit at or around the Sheffield City Hall in order to find the information needed to locate the final cache.

Once the information is found, it can be entered into the formula at the bottom of this page and the cache will soon be in hand!!
