This Multi-cache is designed to take you around some of the amazing local sites, steeped in history. There are 7 stages, which if you follow in order will help you pick up an existing 4 traditional and 1 earth cache, optionally of course. The route will take around an hour if you just do this cache. But if you make the most of the locations and the existing caches you may spend over 2 hours completing.
This cache will be most appreciated on a warm day, but can be done at any time of year. Please note some locations such as Grosvenor Park, the Roman Gardens and the Amphitheatre may be closed in the evenings, please plan your visit ahead.
At each of the 7 waypoints you will find either an information board or item of interest. Each waypoint has a corresponding question. You will need to answer these questions to reveal the final stage coordinates, where the cache container is located. All questions are multi choice, the bracketed number after the answer is the number to use in the coordinates.
