Geocache Description:

This is only a two stage multi-cache and should not take longer than 20 minutes. There is parking available on The Spa road. Make sure you park sensibly and not in front of people's driveways.

Go to the posted co-ordinates and the rest will all become clear!



Melksham Spa was built to rival the famous waters in Bath. Challeybeate Springs were uncovered in 1770 and local gentlemen cashed in on the spring by building lodging houses for visitors to the spa in the early 1800s. After a few years of prosperity, the spa lost popularity and could not keep up with the demand of Bath's spas.

Today, the buildings are made up of houses and businesses.

On a recent trip to a well known pub in the town centre, I found this picture on the way to the toilets. There were a couple more but my phone battery ran out! I shall update them when I can.

For stage one you are searching for a small magnetic container. It is accessable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Please read the instructions inside carefully.
For the final stage you will be looking for something unusual and micro sized! Wheelchairs and pushchairs will struggle which is why the terrain rating is 2 stars. Please replace this one carefully. All should become clear when you see it!
Swaps and TBs can be left in stage one but not two.

Congratulations to madrab for FTF
