Depending on the direction you approach the cache from it's a fairly easy walk.
I had patchy GPS reception when placing the cache, I was able to take 7 readings and averaged the most accurate ones , so the coordinates may not take you to the exact spot but it should get you close enough to find the cache fairly quickly. If you are having problems locating hte cache you may want to try

N50 31.A(B+1)(C-D) W004 25.DE(F+B)

These coordinates were taken on my second visit to the cache and may help if the first set don't (although as soon as I marked these coordinates the GPS claimed they were 20ft away).

Good Luck!
