The recommended Car Park is the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre just off the A49 in Craven Arms. The car park is locked at 18:00 in summer and winter. Out of hours on road parking is also available here. http://www.shropshirehillsdiscoverycentre.co.uk/
The coordinates ARE NOT for the cache but for a signpost along the route to the cache. Count the number of times the letter W is formally carved on the FINGER POSTS – (not the stile) count slowly and be sure to check all sides.
You should only count the W's carved into the finger posts. The answer is A .
The cache is hidden at: N 52 26.087 + (2 * A) W 2 50.800 + (2 * A)
Do not walk in a direct line to the cache because you will be confronted by a fence, so follow the footpath along the hedgeline to the corner of the field where there is a stile. Over the stile and turn left through the mature woods.
Sallow Coppice may once have been dominated by willow trees and coppiced (the stems cut off regularly) to produce withies for fencing, hurdles or even coracle making! Today, the trees are mostly sweet chestnut, silver birch, wild cherry and sycamore. In the spring it is a blaze of colour with bluebells, wood anemone and wild garlic.
Thanks to the Forestry Commission for permission to set this cache.
Be sure to make sure you also find Craven A (GCJ46X) and Stokesay Church and Old Bill (GC11TEZ)
