3 Score & 10 = 1K (S Lancs) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Chucklebus: I checked today for it and couldn't find the cache.

The area is not a pleasant place to search anymore so I'm afraid it is getting archived.

Geocache Description:

Small wood off public footpath

To find the cache, stand at the coordinates given you will see a number to call. Let us call this number ABCD EFG HIJK, subsitute the numbers for the letters and you will find the cache is (C)(E+H)(C) metres west and (D-C)(E+H)(B-D) metres north of where you are standing. Put that another way and you will need to go (D)(G/H)(K) metres on a bearing of (H)(E+H)(H) true.
If that leaves you foxed, send me an email through my profile and I will try to put you on the right lines. I would be interested to receive emails as to the method used to find as there are several possible.

The terrain rating is only at 1.5 for the last few yards as the path is reasonable up to there though there might be difficulty getting a wheelchair though the initial gate.

If the title puzzles you, the two parts are of great personal significance to me as I found my 1000th cache the day before the big birthday when I hid this cache! Not that I'm bragging as it has taken me over five years to achieve the first and the other I could not very well avoid.

Please rehide with care as muggles use this area.
