Geocache Description:


The Harborne Run is a pub crawl along Harborne High Street (with a few small detours) which includes all of the longer-standing pubs of Harborne, where those doing the Run will have a drink (traditionally a pint) in each before moving to the next.

This multi-cache takes you along the Run to answer some simple questions to take you to the final cache. You don't have to go into any of the establishments, and I personally wouldn't recommend doing the whole run with alcoholic beverages whilst completing this cache!

The published co-ordinates are the cross-roads marking the start of the high street, the trail starts at waypoint 1.

The final stage is on the High Street, so a little doubling back from the final waypoints is necessary. In total, doing the waypoints in order and then going to GZ the walk is less than 2 miles / 3 kilometers. I recommend parking somewhere on or around the High Street. There are quite a few bus routes through Harborne too.

The final stage is within sight of our place of work so if we spot you we'll try to pop out for a chat, or come into the pub that overlooks the cache and ask if the Sharksmiths are working. We have moved on to bigger and better things and no longer work at the pub so don't ask for us XD 

The first to catch us at work gets a drink on us (within reason!) Claimed by Cachism 500, great to meet you!
