This geocache is based around a 1½ mile circular walk in the Norfolk Market town of Wymondham. The above co-ordinates are for parking. The cache its self is a small 1 litre tuppaware style box.
The final location is at: N 52° BB.AD0 E 001° 0D.ECF
This is a multi cache with a slight difference, all but one of the answers will be found by using your favourite search engine, so 5 of the 6 answers will need to be gained before you leave home! The final answer can be found very close to the parking co-ordinates. From there it is a ½ mile stroll to the final location.
So here we go. You are searching for 6 numbers A, B, C, D, E and F. You can fill in your answers below.
A =
B =
C =
D =
E =
F =
1. Bob Fitzsimmons, from The Lizard, Cornwall, the first man to be crowned World Middleweight, Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight Boxing Champion was born in Helston in 1A6B
2. Mullion Cove had a Life Boat station from 18C7 - 1909
3. The Battle of the Lizard took place on 21st October 1D0D
4. The Komodo Dragon can grow to XX feet in length. XX minus 12 inches = E
F will be found very close to the Car Park.
5. What is the number of the railway bridge very close to the car park? 1XY4 (X+Y)
TAKE CARE AT THE FINAL LOCATION. THE THORNS ARE VICIOUS AND THERE IS BARBED WIRE CLOSE BY.
It is well worth carrying on around the rest of the walk instead of doubling back and will not take very much longer to do. Go through the gate and over the little bridge (there are usually 2 or 3 horses around here) then throught the larger gate and up the steps on the left next to the map.
The walk can be fairly muddy after rain but is usually dry over the summer unless we get alot of rain. If you do the whole walk you will encounter board walks, bridges, styles, steps and gates so this cache is not very wheelchair/buggy friendly, sorry. Refreshment is available from the Railway Inn which you will pass at the end of The Lizard on your way to the parking area or up at the station on the platform in the Brief Encounter restaurant.
