Enjoy a walk along Bangor Promenade and
examine some of the heritage of the town
along the way. Some people come for the day
others pass through. I think it is a pretty nice town. Good walks
and play parks (Pickie Park, Ward Park, Castle Park etc) for sunny
days and numerous cafes and pubs for those more suited to staying
inside.
The promenade was built/rebuilt in the
1980’s and is currently the topic of heated debate amongst
locals because of the current plans to redevelop Queens Parade.
Should you be lucky enough to geocache by
boat, Bangor has a first class Marina.
While you may want to enjoy the beaches,
please watch out for the sudden swells when the fast ferry enters
and exits the lough. There are numerous signs warning of this
phenomenon.
The clues will take you along the promenade,
so I hope it is a nice day.
The final coordinates of the cache can be
found by answering the questions below and placing the numbers in
order. No multiplication is necessary. Just put the answers in the order
given below.
The cache is along the promenade so there will
be muggles close by. Use you muggle avoidance training.
