Geocache Description:

The co-ordinates above, are not for the cache, but for the entrance of the stony car park near Lightwater Leisure Centre in Lightwater Country Park. This particular car park is probably the best place to park for this multi-cache, which takes you up to High Curley. The distance from the car park to the cache and back, is less than a mile, but it does involve walking up a hill.

(The original intention was to place a cache at High Curley, but as this location is less than 0.1 miles from another cache (Loony Lightwater Lookers), this was not permitted).

Lightwater Country Park is situated at the edge of Lightwater village and covers an area of 59 hectares. It is part of the once vast Bagshot Heath, which stretched to Bracknell and Windsor. Although the Country Park is mainly heathland habitat, it also has ponds, woodland, meadows, scrub and lowland bog, which all provide a wide variety of wildlife, birds, mammals, plants and insects. There is a nature trail and a heathland trail, which both pass by this car park. High Curley is 129 metres above sea level and is the highest point in the park, offering views of the surrounding countryside, including the London skyline, Ascot racecourse, Woking, Guildford cathedral and the North Downs.

Now to the cache …

There is an information board at the entrance to the car park …

N 51 20.959 W 000 41.084

… which states that the length of the Heathland Trail is A.B km.

Now, follow the track up to High Curley …

N 51 20.792 W 000 41.480

… where you will find a plaque, on which, following the letters SU, there are 6 numbers CDE FGH.

Follow the steps towards the location of the cache, which can be found by substituting the letters in the following code, for the numbers revealed by the answers to the clues.

N 51 20.(C-D)(B)(E+F) W 000 41.(A)(H-G)(C)

If you have a little more time, you may wish to explore more of the Lightwater Country Park.
