You are looking for a magnetic cache. You need to follow the coastal footpath to reach this cache.
This series will take you on one of our favourite circular walks from Llanfairpwll to the Straits and back again. The walk is about 2.5 miles long through a mixture of terrain including a part on a busy country road. Please wear sensible footwear.
Two pairs of stone lions flank the railway line as it approaches the Britannia Bridge from both directions. Today the view of the lions from passing trains is obscured by the Britannia Bridge’s road deck, which was added in the late 1970s. But from 1850 to 1970, passengers looking through the windows as their train rounded the bends towards the bridge saw the lions as prominent sentries outside the portals. The lions were created by sculptor John Thomas and complemented the Egyptian references in the bridge’s structural masonry.
In Victorian times, the lions inspired local poet John Evans to write his most memorable ditty. Evans believed himself to be a fine poet but his work was met with derision or delight because of its unintended inanity. He was known as Y Bardd Cocos (“The Cockle Bard”) because he sold seafood for a living. His ditty about the stone lions is:
Pedwar llew tewHeb ddim blew: Dau’r ochr yma A dau’r ochr drew. This translates as: Four fat lions, without any fur: two this side, two on the other.
This series is basically caching to solve a giant Cluedo game.
We have to give credit to Inspector Scooby for the series we saw on out travels near Battle in 2017.
Each of the caches in the series will contain Cluedo cards . As per the board game, you need to discover who committed the murder, with which weapon and in what room. With this information, the location of the bonus cache can be calculated.
If you do not know the basics of a Cluedo game, you need to cross off possible suspects, murder weapons and locations by finding cards. The missing suspect, weapon and room are the answers you seek. Each cache in the series contains cards that will allow you to elimiminate a suspect, weapon or room. Please leave the cards in the cache.
The possible suspects are:
Miss Scarlett, Col. Mustard, Prof. Plum, Rev. Green, Mrs Peacock, Mrs White.
The possible weapons are:
Hammer, Pistol, Rope, Frying Pan, Knife, Golf Club
The possible locations are:
Lounge, Kitchen, Dining Room, Library, Bedroom, Hall
