This cache has been placed for our littlest mini-cacher whose favourite phrase of the moment is
"a slug is a snail that's run away from home"!
We couldn't resist placing a cache that would bring people here. The location is surrounded by a number of beautiful murals including many of the local celebrities. The cache is a three stage multi that will introduce you to a number of famous individuals that have been connected with Thetford and many beautiful buildings.
Please be aware that this is a high muggle area and will need stealth. Parking is available on the market place but not on Tuesday and Saturday when the market stalls will take over. You will need to bring your own pen and may need tweezers for this one.
We'd love to see your pictures of you or your GPS with any of the murals (or any other stages on the way). We hope you enjoy a short wander around the town.
Happy caching.
