IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THIS SERIES, PLEASE CONTACT THE SERIES OWNER (SEE BELOW)
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 given coordinates take you to a nectar garden in Rectory Park. Gather the following numbers from the round stone plinth and the seperate stone in the nectar garden to find the coordinates to the cache:
1) What year is in large numbers on top of the plinth? = ABCD
2) Add the two numbers on the front plaque of the plinth? = EFGH
3) How many times is the number 1 on the COMMUNITY PROJECT plaque (count only the numbers on the metal plaque) on the large vertical stone? = J
The cache can be found at N 52.33.(AxE) (E-F) G W 001.48 J H (J-C)
After rain the park can be muddy, wellies are recommended!
I 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 the series’ very own website http://fyigeocaching.co.uk where you will be able to access a Bookmark list.
If you know of any interesting / informative Interpretation Boards (I'm sure you do!), and would like to contribute to the continued expansion of the FYI series, you will also find placement guidelines there, as well as a Contact Form to apply for a series number.
