Series Information: This is one of 10 geocaches in the Bournemouth People (2021) series. Nine caches are stand-alone traditional caches. Each cache found will provide one of three bonus clues, which will reveal the coordinates for the tenth mystery cache. With only three clues to collect, you do not need to find all the caches in this series in order to have the information for the final, so if you are unable to find one, you should still be able to get the coordinates required. For the purpose of this series, please note that the bonus clues are numbered ‘Bonus Clue 4’, ‘Bonus Clue 5’, and ‘Bonus Clue 6’, to avoid confusion with caches found in other Bournemouth People series.
