Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the coordinates listed.




I bet you thought there would be a number here!


This should be a pleasant cache to find but as it is on university grounds there are a couple of rules to abide by.

1. You must park at the car park at the entrance to the grounds; the co-ordinates are N55°54.671 W003°18.898. These co-ordinates are also listed as an additional waypoint. You must have a permit to drive any further into the grounds. Alternatively, you could catch a bus; the following numbers travel directly into the terminus within the campus: No’s. 25, 34, 45.

2. Although there is nothing to stop you from doing this at night, it is advised that you come during the day. The reason for this is that the campus is much better to visit during the day; you won't be disturbing the students whilst they are overly merry and you won't cause unnecessary action for the security wondering why torches are being used in the woods.

Otherwise don't be put off of what is hopefully a nice cache, in an area that likes to welcome the public.
