Geocache Description:


Twenty-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 at the starting gates of Britain's only known Roman circus. The buried remains of the Roman circus are situated to the south of Colchester town centre on the crest of a prominent ridge. The find is unique in Britain, and rare in northern Europe. Orientated east to west, the circus measures 448.2 metres in length and between 71.1 and 74.2 metres in width. It has been calculated that the circus had a seating capacity of around 8,000 - 15,000.

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 to the pub.

There are several caches nearby, but the nearest one is Colchester Roman Circus (GC5DN7Y)

The usual trackable bucket will be in attendance.

Parking at the waypoint is very cheap after 6pm.
