Mind the bricks Mystery Cache

A tricky little cache in Dinton Pastures. A slope, trip hazards and a cunning little cache - make sure you prepare well before you go!!
>>>
My kids love exploring Dinton Pastures. The route to this cache (if you go the right way!!) takes them up one of their favourite paths where I have to keep saying ‘Mind the Bricks’ – the inspiration behind the name of this cache.
Suggested parking is at the car-park near the café at N 51° 26.380 W 000° 52.392 (note there is a car park charge all year round now). From here take the dog-walkers route to Waypoint 1 at N 51° 26.354 W 000° 52.515.
At Waypoint 1 you have a choice. To understand the significance of the brick theme, take the up-slope direct to the cache – this is the route my kids love taking. Other routes are possible and more buggy/bike friendly but if you take the alternative route please note that the last 10 meters or so is not suitable for buggies or bikes as there is a short steep slope.
Now the catch. In order to retrieve the cache you will need to count the total number of vowels between the >>> <<< markers in this text and take this number along with you.
The cache is a small aluminium container (slightly larger than a film canister) with just a log and small pencil in it. Please replace cache EXACTLY as you found it.
This cache has a sting in the tail. Seeing/touching the cache is NOT enough for a successful find. Please only log this cache if you manage to sign the log.
For a cache’n’dash, park in the overflow car-park at N 51° 26.387 W 000° 52.739 – this is VERY close to the cache but won’t give you the satisfaction of understanding why I called this cache ‘Mind the Bricks’.
Have fun, take care and good luck.
