The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but that's exactly where you want to park.

One small green plastic container. To find it, you have to download the small game I have made (see link below) and find the 40 caches in 5 minutes. Winners will have the physical cache coordinate revealed on completion.

The physical cache involves a 3km round trip walk through and beyond the Southwick Country Park. Access is via public footpaths and stiles. The paths beyond the park are on farm land and are likely to be muddy. Please ensure the cache is replaced and concealed well by replacing the bark cover. This cache will be muggled if not totally concealed. The physical cache coordinates are within 3 metre accuracy using WAAS/EGNOS corrections.

Game Overview:
Geomuggles are watching you! Use stealth and logic to locate all 40 geocaches within the timelimit without actually uncovering any of them. If you uncover a cache a geomuggle will see it and you will lose the game.
Locate all caches within the time limit and you will be rewarded with the real life cache coordinates.

I will not tell you how to play the game as it is the same as the 'winmine' game that ships with Windows®. Any case it wont take you long to figure out how to play, all you need is your left and right mouse buttons and your brain. I think I have made the game pretty hard to complete, as typically I would succeed only once in forty attempts, so hence the difficulty rating.
