WRW #7: Bench Zone Multi
*** The given coordinates are for a possible parking location some 50m north of the trailhead ***
The cache, a small screw-capped camo-taped plastic pot, is hidden in a section of the riverside walk where several benches have been placed for visitors to pause, rest, relax and take in the peaceful surroundings and pleasing scenery . . . on a fine day of course!
To reach the cache location: park on the new Wharfe River Bridge at or near N 53 55.672 W 1 49.402 adjacent to the access steps to the riverside path. Descend these on the east side of the bridge and continue the ~250m to the benches/cache area.
Step 1: go to N 53 55.736 W 1 49.132 where you will find the bench dedicated to the Hextalls. The number of letters in each of their names = A
Step 2: now move a short distance to N 53 55.725 W 1 49.161 the location of the bench on memory of Anne Pullan who was born in 19B7
Step 3: proceed to N 53 55.708 W 1 49.194 where you will find a wooden pole with four rows of letters and number inscribed on it. The repeated number in the third row is CC
Step 4: nearby from N 53 55.707 W 1 49.192 you will be able to read the sign on the door of the underground electrical installation. The number of Volts indicated on this is 4D5

Step 5: move back to N 53 55.714 W 1 49.182 the location of another wooden pole with three numbered or lettered metal attachments. The top one, a plastic strip with 4 rows of numbers and letters, also has E circular holes punched into it.
