Geocache Description:

Multicache on the south side of Bath that takes you from off-the-beaten-track Widcome up to the Bath Skyline Walk at Rainbow Woods. A beautiful summer's evening walk...

The cache itself is a regular ammo box, but to find it you'll have to answer the following questions on the way!

1. Go to the location at the top of the page (you can park nearby, but be aware it is a very narrow road...) - count the number of figures playing in/on the top two levels of the fountain (this is answer "a"). In my opinion this is the most beautiful house in Bath...

2. When was the nearby church of St Thomas a Becket built? (answer "bcde")

3. Head up the road and then quite a steep slope to take you to:

N51 22.(bcd + 20)
W2 20.(a x 36)

From this spot, how many stone spheres can you see? (answer "fg")

4. Then go to the following location:

N51 22.0 (fg x 3) + 2
W2 20.39(a)

How many oak leaves can you see on the top sign? (answer "h")
There's a letter on one of the signs. How close is the nearest other letter? (answer "ijk metres")

This location provides one of the most beautiful views of Bath - bring binoculars and a bottle of chilled white wine to enjoy on a summer evening! (Once you've found the cache of course!)

5. The cache is only a few yards away now at:

N51 22.00 (h+j)
W2 20. (i+1) (a+i) (j+1)

This is under fairly dense tree cover so it may be difficult to find! I think the northing is pretty accurate, but the easting (well westing really) is the one that jumped around when I came back a few mins later for another fix...! You may want to use the spoiler photos...

Hope you enjoyed finding this!
