Beachie ❤ 1980s is a series of caches themed around the 1980s, located around Peterborough City Centre. The caches are intended to provide a variety of hides and types, so there'll be something for everyone.
Each cache is related to a different 1980s thing pertinent to a different year of the decade. We've tried to tie the themes in to the location where we can. In addition, there are some bonus caches. These aren't bonus caches in the geocaching sense of information to find one cache contained within other caches. They're just extra caches we added as we ended up with more ideas than years in the decade.
All the caches in the series are "stand-alone" in that they don't require you to complete any others. You can do them all in one sitting or just dip in and do one or two at a time as your time permits. You also don't need to do them in chronological or any other particular order - do them in whatever order works for you.

...And Bros win Best British Newcomers at the Brit Awards.
Bros were the huge teenage heart-throb band of their age, with hits including When Will I be Famous, Drop the Boy, and I Owe You Nothing, which gave them their only number 1 in the UK.
The band comprised twin brothers, Matt and Luke Goss, and their school friend Craig Logan, and was formed in 1986 in Camberley, Surrey.
Bros had a huge following among teenage girls, or Brosettes as they were known, and 130,000 people turned up when they held a record-signing event in Oxford Street, London.
Since their heyday as a band, Craig Logan left to become a songwriter and music industry executive. Matt Goss released some solo music, and the Goss twins have both pursued acting careers.
We've brought you here as Matt & Luke are amongst the most famous twins around... close to GZ there are two other famous twin objects. (albeit not identical)
Limited parking is available at GZ. Please park safely, considerately, and legally.
Please make an educated decision about the level of muggle activity when you arrive at GZ, and if you find it's just too muggly, we'd suggest you return another time - we'd rather you protected the cache. Thank you.
