We are often told (correctly, if somewhat ideologically), that geocaches should take us to somewhere "interesting", and not simply be placed just for the sake of it. The aim of this series is to try and adhere to this ideal by basing caches around details given on an Information Board about the area in which it is situated. By definition, it is hoped that this information will be "interesting", and will help the cacher discover things about the area that would often not be revealed by a traditional cache.
The town map sits in a display case presented to the town by the Wymondham Lions Club as part of a community project some forty years ago. The map within is more up to date and features most of the new estates around town, albeit with the current rate of development monthly revisions would seem to be required! The cache is not at the given coordinates, which are for the map itself.
You will need to look at the map and display case to get the numbers to substitute as U, V, W, X, Y and Z into the final location which is at N52° 34.UVW E001° 06.XYZ.
At the bottom of the case is a plaque commemorating the gift of the display case to the town. There is a date on this, call the four numbers ABCD. You will also need to look at the map to find a couple of locations, the numbers are the rows the locations are in as written along the left edge of the map.
U = B-A-D
V = The row the Fire Station is in
W = The row the Railway Station is in
X = C
Y = D-A-C
Z=B
There is room for some swaps, and an unactivated Travel Bug for the FTF! Due to location it is not suitable for a park and grab, so I recommend a nice stroll from the map to GZ (you could use the map to help you get there!).
We hope that you find this an interesting variation on the caching experience. For a full list of all FYI caches in the series, please go to https://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?code=BM4RZ8H
Do you know of any interesting / informative Information Boards? (I'm sure you do!). If you'd like to contribute to the continued expansion of the FYI series, please contact the Series Owner, Airtomoreira, either via the Geocaching website, or at fyigeocaching@outlook.com for a series number, and some general guidelines on placement and the cache description page.
