Geocache Description:


This is one of a series of caches placed along the footpath from the Round House to Earnse Bay, representing the planets of the solar system. You will need to bring a pen or pencil to sign the logs and you may need tweezers to get the log out of some of them. Please just write your initials on very small logs and replace the cache very carefully in its hiding place.

Neptune is the most distant planet from the Sun, over 4500 million km away. Because it is so far away, it takes a long time (165 years) to go round the Sun, so has only orbited once since it was discovered in 1846. It was discovered by mathematical predictions rather than by observation. Neptune has the strongest winds anywhere in the Solar System, with speeds of 1300 miles per hour (2100 km per hour). Neptune was the Roman god of the sea.
