Geocache Description:


The co-ordinates given are not for the cache but for Winchester’s Great Hall, home to King Arthur’s round table.

The cache is located within a 4 mile radius of the great hall and the location can be revealed from the following unconfirmed tale of a game involving six of King Arthur’s Knights.

King Arthur sat at the round table with a deck of cards. In the seat immediately to his left sat galahaD, followed by lanceLot, sagraMore, gaHeris, dagOnet and finally garEth. Each Knight had a pile of 232 silver coins in front of him. The game commenced.
