The co-ordinates listed
above are for suitable parking - no physical cache is
located there!
The cache itself is located a
short walk away from Forestry Commission land at the following
co-ordinates:
N52°
44.HFC W 0° 3A.GDB
Decipher this location by visiting
the co-ordinates below and collecting the necessary information.
All the clues are within a few hundred yards of the parking
location. With the exception of clue 3, you might want to add to
the fun by not using the co-ordinates, but searching for them
yourselves!

Once the location has been
obtained, there will be a walk of less than 0.5 miles to find the
cache, which is a suitably-labelled black and green ammo box. As
far as we know, there is no "cross-country" direct route to the
cache from the parking area, so you'll need to take a short walk
along the side of a road for part of the way, and although it isn't
a main road, please take the appropriate care.
The cache container is quite snugly-fitted in its hiding location -
could finders please ensure it is pushed back fully and adequately
re-covered.
Items in the cache when placed
were the following:
Official GC logbook & pens and "Stashnote" explanatory
laminated notice.
Also, trade items:
Travel draughts game
Set of colouring pencils
"Hot Wheels" toy car
Ornamental candle
Toy Warrior
"The Blue Bedroom" Book (probably not as exciting as it
sounds??)
Royal Jelly bath crème
Noughts & Crosses game
Mouse ornament
We've also left a disposable camera - feel free to capture your
mugshot, note it in the log and please leave it in the cache for
the next person. Once full, please let us know and we will post the
pictures on a suitable webpage. Have fun!
