Geocache Description:


How much do you know about Barnsley? Have you ever looked up? Taken stock of your surroundings? Because we hadn't!

Time to be a tourist in your own town, or learn about a town which is not yours. Get your thinking hats, your observant eyes and your walking shoes on, as we take you around Barnsley!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer the following questions to get the final cache coordinates.

You will need to visit 1 waypoint per question. For example, waypoint 1 = W1, which is related to question 1 = Q1.

We HIGHLY suggest visiting the waypoints in order, but you are independent adults so we can't stop you (:
