Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the given location.

You will need to solve the puzzle to find the container.

This cache forms one of the Ruddington Puzzle Cross as listed below, designed by Dr RuddRobins, tested & difficulty rated by Mrs. RuddRobins and swagged up + placed mainly by the young RuddRobins.

Log sheet only here, please bring pen and maybe tweezers.

This Cache is dedicated to myself: well, all the other RuddRobins have had one . . .  cool. Title was going to be "What are you going to do, assemble a cabinet at them?", but inspiration taken from a local fellow CO's similar themed cache which I came across while still in the planning stage.

The Cache:

My original and favourite themed container has now regenerated! Low down but not in the ditch when I left it . . .

The Scene:

The Rani has been drawing a fluid from the brains of humans at various points in Earth's history, adding to the unrest caused in England by the Luddites. She has also planted some land mines that turn people into trees. (This is the best connection I could make to Rudd, but I wanted a Gallifrey themed cache in the cross, so there.)
