Geocache Description:


 

Board Games at the Lakes 8:Risk
Risk is a classic strategy game in which players try to conquer the world by controlling every territory on a playing board. The standard version is played on a board depicting a political map of the earth, divided into forty-two territories, which are grouped into six continents. Turn rotates among players who control armies of playing pieces with which they attempt to capture territories from other players, with results determined by rolling dice. Players may form and dissolve alliances during the course of the game. The goal of the game is to occupy every territory on the board and in doing so, eliminate the other players.
About the series:
A series placed to celebrate that cause of fun, but also many family disputes, boardgames! Love them or hate them there’s no escaping them, especially around the festive period (hence the time of placement).

The loop starts at the Malthouse Lane Car Park and follows the trails around Engine House Pool and Windmill Pool, it is around 3 miles long although it can be easily made longer or shorter. The lakes have amazing scenery and wildlife so don’t forget to bring your camera and binoculars. Be aware that the car park is closed at night so please check closing times on the board when you enter the car park as this varies. It is very easy to park on the road at Malthouse lane or at an alternative carpark marked on number 1.

There are 9 caches on the series which can be combined with some existing caches. The puzzles published in conjunction with the series are designed that they can be easily done whilst completing the loop, if anyone is struggling with these who wants to complete all the caches around the lakes please feel free to message me for a hint.
There are also three FYI caches nearby which can be found while doing the series.
For the more extreme of you, the nearby existing caches ‘SOMEWHERE OVER THE ?????’ (GC13EET) and ‘Special-Ops - Bravo’ (GC2QCM7) are recommended.
The existing EL series by MillionsOfPeaches that is just under 2.5 miles can also be combined with this walk.
