Geocache Description:

The ghost train has moved on a little to a quieter location away from stray ostriches. He also requires you to find two other items of hidden history before he'll reveal his location.

The co-ordinates above are the only one's you'll get but are not those of the cache. All the locations you'll need to visit are less than a mile from this point.

This little cache stretches between Bristol University and the ghost line running beneath the graveyard at St Mary Redcliffe's. This is best found on a Sunday morning when the streets are quiet but can be found any day in good light.

You first task is to find the cross (the replica not the original) in the picture file 'map' below. Next count the number of capital letters in the two words that make the last line of text on the permanent sign on the western park gate. These become A and B.

Your second task is to find a statue of Bristol's famous canine son. Beneath him is a door bearing the number CD.

Your final task is to find the heaven-bound branch line for the ghost train. Head to N 51° 26.872 W 002° 35.343 to find the East end of the tunnel then make your way through the church grounds to the West end. The branch line is within the church yard. Record the significant year - EFGH.

The final cache was at 51.26.(F-A)(C+8)(4-G), 2.35.(B+3)(D+E)(H+5).

To avoid muggles the cache has been moved 20m on 230 degrees from it's old metal hide.
