⭐️Horrible Histories trail created by Little Roman Z & I⭐️
(Main info bit)(scroll to get to the questions, if u don't need this 😁)
After a half term visiting towns of historical interest and a deep love of Horrible History books, Little Roman Z & I asked if we could do a series of Geocaches involving these. So here we go...
All the questions used in this series can be solved using the books created by Terry Deary. (You could also solve with some basic historical knowledge or Google) but if your struggling head to the library or steal your kids books. I have included ISBN numbers if your unable to locate the books.
As always Quiz Masters answer is final, and the quiz master is the Horrible History texts (which are mostly from the 90's, history changes......)
The trail follows good footpaths around Fedw woods, which is near Chepstow. You would be able to take a push chair along the paths, which are compact gravel. However some caches are off the path walk and would require you to leave the push chair on the path. But not for very long.
When i placed these caches (mid nov) with all the rain we have had, there were some very boggy ground and there is a drain ditch running along some of the path. If i require u to cross this, i have made sure it is in a safe point.
It took me 1.5hr hours to walk the 3 miles i did to place these caches. Perfect for little legs. There is not number order for these caches, could be done in any order.
When i require you to use number values/positions of letters, i mean for example A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.
Be aware that Roman Numeral for 1 is I and 2 is II, in this font.
We hope you enjoy!
