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 Interpretation 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.
At the posted coordinates you will find an information board that tells you all about the history of Runcorn Hill Park.
The cache is located less than 15 minutes walk away at N53 19.ABC W002 44.DEF, where:
- Runcorn Boundary Quarry closed in 1A60
- B = the Zone in which you are currently standing
- The lake was constructed in 192C
- Additional tennis courts were provided in 19D2
- In 1900, the Local Government Board loaned a further £E000
- The photograph's copyright date is 20F7
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 https://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?code=BM4RZ8H
