SideTracked - Bicester Town (Flush Bracket) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Graculus: I am archiving this cache as it has been changed from a traditional cache to a multicache. Please refer to my email of the 24th September in reply to your request that I change the cache type. I explained that we cannot do this and as you've gone ahead and changed the cache description anyway I have no choice but to archive the listing.
If you still want this to be a multicache you will need to submit a new cache page.

Geocache Description:

SideTracked - Bicester Town Station Flush Bracket


You are looking for a Bench Mark.
This particular bench mark is called a Flush Bracket

Flush Brackets were first used during the 2nd Geodetic
Leveling of England; Wales between 1912 and 1921.
The 2GL series were numbered from 1 to 3000 and did not have a prefix letter.
The vast majority of the flush brackets in the 2GL series were placed on walls and buildings, but a small number were used on triangulation pillars.


I've decided to change this Cache to a SideTracked.
I wasn't really happy with the last cache location.
So I've changed it to a Mutli Cache.
Bicester main station car park has been upgraded,
with a metal monstrosity.

The FB is located under the bridge and no bigger than a house brick.
Obtain the 5 digit number from the flush bracket,
and then insert the number into the following coords:

N 51.54.*93
W00*.09.***
