A riddle trail has been placed around Sheffield Botanical Gardens. Your job is to follow the trail to find a Geocache at the end!

About This Cartridge

A poet and author has hidden a geocache. But before she shows you where, she wants to make sure you have explored the botanical gardens thoroughly. To help you with this, she has set up a trail of riddles in the gardens, where solving one riddle will lead you to the next.

Opening times vary throughout the year, details of which can be found at the Botanical Gardens website by clicking here. I recommend using teamwork to solve the riddles, but the cache can be completed by one person.

It is recommended that you take a map of the gardens along with you, and I would strongly recommend glancing at it before too! There is an information centre at the main entrance where a paper map can be obtained. There is also a large map on an information board just outside the main entrance you can refer to (or photograph for reference). You can also download one from www.sbg.org.uk/map.asp. 

Starting Location

The main entrance of Sheffield Botanical Gardens, on Clarkehouse Road.

An enjoyable walk around the gardens, which are very well looked after. My only problem was on stage 4. The final cache was an easy find.

Found the cartridge very enjoyable to play but the final location was a total lottery with the vague hint, hate looking in places like that with so many people and cars passing. Great shame.
