Tiny Parks of Waverton Multi-Cache

Tiny Parks of Waverton

In the Tiny Parks of Waverton multi-cache, you will visit, well, tiny parks in Waverton. The final container is not difficult to find or to access as we just want you to enjoy each park visit.

The container is not at the posted coordinates. There are seven waypoints for you to visit and collect information. Use the collected information to calculate the GZ coordinates.

Waverton train station is a good public transport option. Follow the published order for the most direct route between waypoints. The path has some steep sections and stairs and is not suitable for bicycles or wheelchairs. However, you can use a car or other wheeled vehicles on a less direct route if you like. Parking on many streets in Waverton is free for two hours but often challenging to find. The entire series should take no longer than 2 hours if you walk slowly and take your time collecting information.

GZ

We hope you have enjoyed the tiny parks. We apologise that GZ is not at a tiny park. Geocaching guidelines ensure geocaches are not too close to each other. Because there are already other caches in the Waverton area, we just couldn’t fit a container into any of these adorable parks. The container is on an appropriately named street and should be easy for geocachers to locate.
