Recommended parking for the Gemini cache is at
N52° 55.619
W003° 03 298. You may find closer
parking but that would be up to you. To get the co-ordinates for
this cache, you must first get them from the Aquarius and Libra
caches.
The best way to get to this cache from Libra is to go through
the tunnel. It is only 460 yards long but you should bring a torch.
The walkway through the tunnel is on paved path with a handrail
next to the canal itself. Although it is buggy and wheelchair
friendly, please hang on to smaller children. It is very possible
that canal boats will be going through the tunnel at the same time.
It is clearly marked at the ends of the tunnel 'NO OPEN FLAMES'
Please adhere to this advice as there may be fumes from passing
boats.
The cache container is a large ammo box containing the log book,
pen, pencil and sharpener (please do not remove). On the inside
cover of the log book and on the back of the information card you
will find the co-ordinates for the Bonus Zodiac Cache. Tree cover
may make this difficult so a spoiler picture is given. Contents at
the time of placing this cache include an umbrella, coffee cup,
bookmark, children's book, necklace, 2005 date book and some
collectible items.
