After correctly answering each question, you will be given some additional information that will help you locate the Venta Belgarum Adventure Lab Bonus cache (GC8GTHX). The locations can be visited in any order, although if you are planning on finding the bonus cache, we suggest that you visit as follows: 1. The Buttercross 2. Thomas Thetcher’s gravestone 3. Cheyney Court 4. King Alfred’s statue 5. City Mill The navigational instructions included in the text, and the points of interest en route, assume that you are visiting the locations in the order suggested above. Venta Belgarum was a town in the Roman province of Britannia Superior. The settlement was established around AD 70. In Saxon times, the city became known as Wintan-ceastre (‘Fort Venta’) in Old English. In time this was changed to Wintancaester and eventually became corrupted to Winchester.
