Geocache Description:

A wander round the park looking for clues. There's a cafe in the Eco-house (only open afternoons Wed-Fri) and a playground. A buggy should manage the last minute.

The published waypoint should start you off in the car park next to the Eco-house on Hinckley Road. Start at the Eco-House sign in the carpark.

STAGE ONE, a set of simple crossword type questions

Q1 There are 6 lines of text on the sign. What is the third line? 7,5
Q2 The recycling centre is behind you. Walk towards it to find out what colour account you can get here. 5
Q3 On your right are some unusual bollards. Walk towards them. What kind of club is it on your right? 4
Q4 On your left is a mencap centre. Who is it named after? 9,7
Q5 Keeping the mencap centre on your left, walk along the road into the park. Look for a flower with five petals. What is it on? 6,3
Q6 A little further along the road into the park a stone marks the park's anniversary. How many years? 7
Q7 On the right of the road you'll see where musicians sit. What kind of paint is used inside it? 4-5
Q8 Go back to the road and head towards a yellow gate. What sport is not allowed? 4

STAGE TWO

The final coordinates are: N52 38.ABC W1 10.DEF

In these clues the letters from the answers to Q1-Q8 are assigned values according to their place in the alphabet ...a=1..z=26

To get the final cordinate values
A= Q7, letter 1
B= Q6, letter 4 + Q4, letter 11
C= Q5, letter 7
D= Q2, letter 3 + Q7, letter 1
E= Q1, letter 3 + Q3, letter 1 - Q5, letter 7
F= Q8, letter 4 - Q7, letter 1

To check, add ABCDEF together. The total is 24.
