Geocache Description:

If you're stuck at the hospital, Dr Djinn suggests that you dash outside for some fresh air and a medicinal cache. The container is not on the grounds (so you'll need to change out your hospital gown!), but it is very close (in case you have to hurry back).

Otherwise, it could be a quick park-and-grab, but don't count on finding a free spot on this very busy road.


When Mike arrived at the hospital complaining of severe abdominal pain, he was rushed straight off for emergency tests. Can you imagine the doctors’ surprise when they saw that, instead of the usual six metres or so of small intestine, he had four times that! The gastroenterologist in attendance had never seen such a curious phenomenon and, impatient to investigate further, decided that an endoscopy was necessary. Unfortunately, the flexible scope is not long enough to navigate such an exceptionally lengthy gut, so Mike will have to swallow a pill-sized capsule containing a tiny camera, which will then wirelessly transmit images of his insides to an external receiver for downloading later.

Each “pill cam” can be used only once, so it is a very expensive procedure; consequently, the capsules are kept in a safe place. But, with all the pressure on the health system, the department is rather short-staffed today. Perhaps you could pop along to the store room, at the above coordinates, so that Mike’s tummy ache can be treated as soon as possible?

The “pill cam” you are a looking for is a magnetic nano; it is actually not much smaller than the real thing, so bring a pen. The road is busy, smokers abound, and if the occupants of the house across the road are in residence they might spy what you're doing, but I think the area provides sufficient "excuses" to cover mildly suspicious geocaching behaviour :)
