Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not for the final location of the cache but near the War Memorial which needs to be visited to obtain information. Please note the closing time of the park varies throughout the year, the times are around dusk.

The park is situated on a fairly steep slope and is laid out for a number of sports. At the top of the hill there is a memorial which takes the form of a portico with a rear wall bearing the names of the fallen, with the inscription "To the memory of the men of Coulsdon who fell in the Great War 1914-1919". A bronze plaque was added bearing the words "and in memory of those who fell in the World War 1939-1945".

To the rear of the recreation ground are deep chalk quarries which in the past had spur lines from the local railway running right into the slopes to transport the extracted stone.

The coordinates for the cache are:

N 51 18.ABC W 000 08.DEF

If A = 1 and Z = 26

A = (Initial + 1) of HERRON
B = (Initial + 7) of RUSSELL
C = (Initial) of CARVER

When the cache was place it contained a log book, pencil, marble and a first to find certificate.

Happy Caching
