Geocache Description:

A multi-geocache starting at a free car park in Glenfield village and then along the recently re-surfaced stretch of the cycle route 63 which follows the Leciester and Swanington Railway (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leicester_and_Swannington_Railway) then back towards the start, the final location is close to the start.

The distance of the multi is approximately 1.75 miles.


Note: due to the final cache getting muggled twice in a row I've moved the final location. The clues remain the same.

As a Scout leader at Glenfield Scouts I was happy in April 2014 when the new 'Geocaching Activity Badge' was released. We began it in May 2014, finding the required standard caches was achievable given the nearby caches placed by 'SSouter' (originally 5 of these were on the route but I think some have gone to be replaced with at least one new one) but finding a 'Multi' was not so easy. So I decided to create one around Glenfield village. I've received permission from Glenfield Parish Council to place the cache in the final location so thank you to all who helped to arrange that.

Congratulations to BD1234 & rr300tdi for FTF!

The clues aren't too difficult and the walk is only 1.75 miles on tarmaced surface. The coordinates take you to a car park where you can start. (and this is close to the final cache position!)

You can check your coordinates here.. (updated for revised coordinates) GeoChecker.com.

Now the final cache is located at:
N 52° e h . c e g W 001° b i . e j h


Where:
h = f - b - d
i = e - b
j= c - b
