UPDATE - Due to some changes in the library and the cache at the beginning coordinates going missing, this cache is currently only doable with assistance from library staff. We are working on updating it so each stage is functional again. Please bear with us and thank you to those who've completed the cache.
*THINGS TO NOTE:
- 🥰 Huge thank you to the Highfields Library staff for their permission and assistance in placing this Cache. The geokiddos and I had a lot of fun designing this and it's one of our first hides, so we hope you enjoy it!
- 📌 If you get stuck, the Library staff are aware of the Cache and have an 'info sheet' they can use to give you some hints.
- ⏱ Allow plenty of time, this Cache has 4 stages to complete in order to find the final physical Cache containing the log book.
- 🏫 Remember to check Highfields Library opening hours to ensure the library is open when you visit.
- ✅ Below are the basic instructions for each stage, however, in order to complete all stages, you must enter your answers into each Solution Checker to receive the next 'puzzle' to decipher.
