Geocache Description:

A visit to several locations in Bolton town centre with a micro at the end. Although its a multi the locations are very close so it shouldn't take long.

06/09/2008 This cache is a 4 stage multi. Stage 1 and stage 2 now have trads placed at them so when you find those you can find the virtual waypoints.
Stage1 is right next to Town Hall
Stage2 is next to Taxi Sir

Bolton is short of caches so here is one slap bang in the town centre. I am somewhat biased about my hometown but I think it has one of the best town centres in the country. Unfortunately like many town centres its slowly decaying as more people go to out of town shopping centres. The boarded up shops used to be just on the periphery of the town centre but now they seem to stretch all the way into the town hall square. At least a geocache will get a few more visitors in.

Stage1 The journey starts at the listed coordinates. Find the years of the birth and death on the statue.
A = Last Digit of the birth year. C = Third Digit of the death year.

Stage 2 Here's another statue. B= Last Digit of the birth year.

Stage 3 D = Second Digit of the year when there was first a monument at this site

Final Stage The cache is at N 53 34.ABC W 2 25.DDD
