PLEASE DO NOT INTERFERE WITH IT

Leap Year

An astronomical year lasts slightly less than 365 1/4 days. The historic Julian calendar has three common years of 365 days followed by a leap year of 366 days, by extending February to 29 days rather than the common 28. The Gregorian calendar, the world's most widely used civil calendar, makes a further adjustment for the small error in the Julian algorithm. Each leap year has 366 days instead of 365. This extra leap day occurs in each year that is a multiple of 4 (except for years evenly divisible by 100, but not by 400).

Leap Year only comes around once every 4 years so I have hidden this cache to celebrate this.

Imagine if you were born on 29th February. You would not many actual birthdays in a lifetime.

From near GZ you get a good view of the bridge making a leap across the river. Please be careful as there is a steep drop off. Ensure that children are kept safe.
