A Cock and Bull Story
Listed below are a number of unusual stories about Stony
Stratford. Unusual maybe - but they are all true. Well, nearly all
of them. One is clearly untrue - your mission is to identify the
Cock and Bull Story. At this location you will find the coordinates
for the actual cache. There is no micro, the coords are in full
view. You just need to view from the right angle... Good luck!

N.B. The final location is in a fairly exposed area - please be
discreet when retrieving and replacing the cache, and ensure that
it is pushed well back into place when you have finished.
Thanks.
I've been mulling over this cache idea since early last year.
I'd like to thank Michael Winterbottom
and 4OnTheMove (
Historic Town 1 - Stony Stratford) for providing the impetus to
get the cache finished and launched. Why not do both Stony
Stratford caches together? You never know, you might even be able
to use the same clues twice! ;-)
