Geocache Description:


This is my first multi, which should be a simple straight forward one, that takes you for a nice walk from the posted co ords to the final. 

The posted co ords will take you to a quarry stone on a trolley. An example of what was once used here in Corsham. This is placed to commemorate the historic and economical importance the stone mines were to Corsham. 

Please read the plaque on the quarry block to work out the final co ords. 

What was the final year the wooden framed trolleys used? ABCD

What year were the wheels casted in Derby? EFGH

How many tons were both versions of trolleys capable of carrying? I 

The cache can be found at N51 25.(A+C) (F-C) (D+E) W2 11.(I+E) (GxA) (A-E)

There is parking at the posted co ords which is free, you can enjoy the walk or drive down to the final. Stealth maybe neeed as the area can be popular with dog walkers and the odd fishermen
