Geocache Description:

Easington is a small cluster of dwellings and a farm, which you
would easily miss as you drove past. You will need to pick up some
clues to derive the micro cache co-ordinates, from sights along the
way. It's a pleasant walk on fairly easy terrain, but may get a bit
muddy in the winter. Apart from this, this should be a nice easy
cache, and good for a quick "cache and dash".

Co-ordinates given are for the start point which is a bench beside a small horse chestnut tree, right at the turning down into Easington. Parking is limited, so please park considerately, or else park at the nearby pub, located at N51° 47.153 W001° 00.357.

If you drive down into Easington you may have a long uphill reverse to get back out again!

From the bench, walk down the lane into Easington.

There is a small barn (or grain store) supported on stone pillars. How many pillars does it stand on?
This is value A.

How many windows are there on the front of Lower Farm? This is value B.

What is the house number of Woodmans Cottage?
This is value C.

There is a fire hydrant sign stuck on the bridlepath signpost. It has three numbers on it, one is zero and the other two are the same this is the value for D.

Take the values for ABCD and use them in the following simple calculation to get the micro cache co-ordinates :
N51° (A-B)(C+1).(D-C)(B-3)(C-B-1) W001° 00.(B+2)C(A-D+1)

The final cache is a small to medium container and originally contained

The usual: Cache notice, log book, pen, pencil
FM Radio
Harry Potter stickers
Harry potter badge
Key ring
Pack of playing cards
micro cache canister (you never know when you will need one)
