Geocache Description:

You are looking for a magnetic keylock box containing a logbook, bring a pen.

If you find that the log is filling up, please send me a message and I will replace it - Thanks

The coordinates above will take you to Barbican underground station, where your challenge begins.

Start by crossing the road and facing the western entrance of the Beech Street Tunnel. Your hunt will take you through the tunnel.

There are no additional waypoints here but the answers to all the questions below can be found on your walk along Beech Street.

To help you a little, they all appear in order. So if you find the answer to clue 5 and miss answer 4, it's safe to say that the answer to clue 4 is somewhere behind clue 5 on the street.

Use the answers to construct the final coords for GZ, the magnetic keyholder, which is hidden somewhere towards the end of the tunnel.

Good luck
