Geocache Description:

A stroll around these lovely gardens to gather some clues and work out where a micro cache has been discretely placed

The published co-ordinates will take you to the central point of the gardens where you will find an information sign with details of the gardens origin. Here you will need to gather some information then take a stroll through the gardens to collect the other information.


This land was purchase in the late 19th Century and laid out as a pleasure garden. Over the years it has evolved with the bowling green, putting green and more recently decorative lightning which illuminate the trees at night. This is also a very popular dog walking, picnicing and exercise park, so expect company on your stroll.

An excellent site for flower bees (Anthophora) including the scarce Anthophora quadrimaculata. Flower bees are like minature bumblebees and have a very loud high pitched buzz. Anthopora quadrimaculata and the similar Anthophora bimaculata have bright green eyes. The more common Anthophora plumipes is larger and the females are very dark almost black. Four species of flower bee have been recorded foraging on the flowers within this coastal garden.

To the cache; the published co-ordinates will take you to an information sign where you will need to gather some information. Then you will need to stroll around the gardens to find the other information. The final location of the cache can then be calculated and is located somewhere within the gardens.

When was the land purchased ? = 18AB

When was the statue moved to the gardens? = 1CD3

How many "open air" benches (do not count the ones with shelter) are in the gardens ? EF

How many bins are in the gardens (count each bin container as one although there are two holes) ? G

How many floor standing lights illuminate the path that goes through the middle of the gardens? H

The Final coordinates can be calulated as follows

N50 (F+1)(H-G).(B+D-E-C)(A-D)(E+F+1)

E0 (H-E)(E).(G)(C-D-G)(C)

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

Please replaced the container as found and that it remains a sneaky hide

Good Luck and have fun.

Congratulations to Satan Hardens, GCHarribo and Olb1992 (and Dads) for FTF
