Geocache Description:

A fairly quick multi cache in the lovely, historic and original part of this city. All answers needed for final cache location can be found within a few metres of the start point. My first cache too so I hope you enjoy it :-)

The High Street in Old Portsmouth is part of the original city and has many historic buildings.

The Co-ordinates of the final cache location are N50.47.abc W01.06.def

Portsmouth Football Club, (twice winners of the FA Cup) was founded at a meeting on this very street. Where 'a' is the number month in the year that PFC was founded.

John Pounds' shoemenders workshop used to stand near the High Street, now there is a memorial garden with a monument to him in it. He became a teacher and the founder of the Ragged schools, which educated many of the poorest and most destitute children. Where 'b' is the 3rd number in the year of his death ...and 'c' is the 2nd number in the year of his birth.


The house where the Duke of Buckingham was assasinated can be found in the High Street. The Duke was head of the armed forces, and deeply unpopular due to lack of pay, corruption and military failure. Ex-navy officer John Felton stabbed him, and although captured and hung, his body was later venerated in Portsmouth! His death was in the year de2f.



Although this is a high muggle area, there are usually plenty of tourists around, so you won't look out of place!

You are looking for a magnetic micro containing log book, pencil and gift for first to find.. Please replace carefully.
