Geocache Description:


FOR FULL DETAILS OF THE FYI SERIES, PLEASE VISIT http://www.fyigeocaching.co.uk

This is one of four FYI multi caches placed along The Jinnie Nature Trail, which runs between the villages of Rolleston-on-Dove and Stretton. It was originally part of the railway line between Tutbury and Burton-on-Trent

This Interpretation Panel is placed at the start of the trail, appropriately on Station Road. In order to find the cache, you will need to answer the following questions:

1) One end of the line was in Burton. The other end was at ? (Number of letters = A)

2) A station with both passenger and goods facilities was built here in 189B

3) The line was officially closed in 196C

4) One of the illustrations shows an excursion train, locomotive No.444D4

5) Buffer stop - Stone circle = E

6) The Burton bound freight train shown is a BR class F

7) The Tutbury Jinny became a push/pull train in around 19G0

The cache is located at N52 50.(D+E+G)(C-D)E  W001 37.A(F-B)G

 

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.
