Geocache Description:

This cache replaces 'Ruby' which we offered to adopt when the CO said he could no longer maintain it. Unfortunately it was archived and couldn't be recovered. For cachers who had previously completed Ruby you know where to start, but thats where any similarity ends. The final is a suitably sized, disguised container with log book.


The Closes Park offers the community local open recreation space and contains tennis courts, outdoor gym equipment and a children’s play area. We have been told that many years ago, changing rooms and a park keepers office stood roughly where the car park has been constructed and a putting green was on the left as you pass the car park barrier. The car park barrier is kept locked shut now probably due to council cutbacks but there is room to park just in front of it.

Right lets get you started… from the start co-ords look for five metal lids that surround you. The one you are interested in has a number;

AB CDEF GHJKLM.

51 EJ.GL(H+M)  000 K(A+B).H(F-C)(D-G) should get you close enough to location 2.

Got There? You should be looking at some more numbers some of which are missing;

Let the missing numeral on the top row = N  and the two missing numerals on the second row = PQ

51 30.P(N-1)P  000 28.(Q-2)(N-2)P will get you to location 3.

OK are you looking at four more digits? Call these RSTU

The cache can be found at;

51 30.(S-T-R)(R+S)(T+U-R)    000 28.U(T+R-S)(S-U)

You’re looking at ground level, please replace as found. Retrieval from its position if required, is possible but please dont drop it to replace it. We have also included a number of micro sized caches with logs which are gifts to anyone who would like one. Please let us know when the last one has gone. The journey around should be wheelchair friendly although quite muddy, but for the final you would need assistance. Finally thanks go to Pfoagain for help with permission, but will she be ftf?The race is on!

Well done Pfoagain and Lindylew!
