Geocache Description:


As part of the celebrations for a momentous occasion, the Makers invite you to an A-Z TOUR OF YORKSHIRE.

There are 27 caches, one for each letter of the alphabet plus a bonus cache, scattered throughout Yorkshire. As you travel to historic, panoramic, beautiful or just plain quirky locations, you will pass through some of the most spectacular areas of the county.

Enjoy your tour of Yorkshire.

You can find the series in any order. Each cache contains a number you need to keep a note of as adding the first 26 sets of numbers together will give you the co-ordinates for the Bonus Cache, which is GC7JF9A. Heading to that listing page will give you information on the rest of the series.

This cache is placed at The Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds.

The museum is free to enter and has a café and small souvenir shop, but there is no need to enter the museum to do this simple multi. Parking is available in the nearby multi-story [waypoint for the entrance], which of course is not free. It is also possible to park elsewhere and enjoy a pleasant stroll along the canal, which has undergone significant urban regeneration in recent years.There's a good paved path in both directions.

Start at the posted co-ordinates, to find the information you need. The final can be found at N53 47.ABC W00131.DEF which would be a good place to sit and have a picnic on a nice day.

The Royal Armouries Museum was opened by The Queen on which date in March 1996?

A = the second digit of the date
B = the first digit of the date
C = A minus B

Next look at the plaque about The Tower Stone and read the information BELOW the title to find:

D = the number of letters in the 2nd word on the 2nd line
E = the number of sides of the stone
F = the number of letters in the 4th word on line 3

This cache has been placed for the 10th Anniversary UK Mega Event - Yorkshire 2018
