Geocache Description:





BONUS CACHE




Formula for Coordinates

Please note that the listed coordinates are for car parking only, and are not the bonus coordinates. To obtain the coordinates for this cache, you need to collect the clues from the other caches in the series, and use the formula :-

N = 50.AB.CDE
W = 000.FG.HIJ


'The bonus Ball' .. now to get home...

My trail finishes here as the scouts have laid caches on the remainder of the trail. So you now have 3 options to get home ....

OPTION 1) Carry on ball spotting & catch bus.

Use the balls as waypoints to get home :-

BALL 10 at N50 55.166, W 0 47.566
BALL 11 at N50 54.995, W 0 47.439

Just after the house is a footpath sign headed left. Take this footpath at N50 54.907, 0 47.205 and follow it up the hill

BALL 12 at N 50 54.903, W 0 47.151
BALL 13 at N 50 54.790, W 0 46.839

Keep following the signposts and footpath straight on until you get to the style. You will then come out into a footpath in a field. The scouts hut and field is to the right

Head for the old railway arch at N50 54.561, 0 46.498

Go through the arch and keep going to the road. Turn left and follow the pavement to the bus stop at N 50 54.540, W 0 46.246. Ask the bus driver for 'cocking hill'. It should cost £2.60. Sunday service is a bit odd, but Monday - Saturday is normally 3 and 33 minutes past the hour


OPTION 2) New caches

There are some new caches added to the end of this series - 15.1 to 15.3. These will take you back to the main road, and then it's about 5 minutes walk from there back to the car park. Please mind the busy road !



Additional Info :-

Trail length :- 4.9 miles (if you catch bus back to start) OR 6.7 miles (if you do new caches 15.1 to 15.3) / 15 caches + 1 bonus
Suggested parking : N50 56.558, W 0 45.340
