Geocache Description:


Fourth in a series of quick events for no reason other than we can!

I'll try to make them all at an interesting or historical place, as close to at least one cache as possible and not too far away from a pub!

This one's outside Colchester's Town Roman Theatre. The remains of the Roman theatre in the town centre can best be seen in Maidenburgh Street in the Dutch Quarter: look for the darker paving in the road showing the outline of the theatre's walls. The theatre mentioned in Tacitus' account of the Boudican attack on Colchester was probably on the same site as the later theatre excavated in Maidenburgh Street in 1981-2.

Meet at the coords any time between 7:00pm and 7:30pm, we'll have a group photo at 7:25pm then off home or off to the nearby pub!

The nearest cache is A Walk in the Park – Storm the Castle (GC2YKQ2), along with many others in close vicinity!

The usual trackable bucket will be in attendance. [:-)]

Parking in the public car parks only, I'm afraid.
