Geocache Description:

A level walk in beautiful woodlands that is very suitable for children and dogs.

This is my third cache in or near Leigh Woods. The above coordinates are for the car-park and not for the cache itself.

Dotted around the woods are references to some of the flora and fauna that can be seen in the woods. Each reference is associated with a number. Write down this number in the table below. This number will be referred to as the "score" for this item :-

Item..................................................Score

Ash Leaf

Beech Leaf

Beetle

Bumble Bee

Greater Spotted Woodpecker

Long-tailed Tit

Oak Leaf

Speckled Wood Butterfly

Tawny Owl

Treecreeper

Wild Service Tree Leaf

Now add up the scores as follows :-

Total scores for vertebrates =......................= AB

Total scores for invertebrates =....................= CD

Total scores for leaves =.............................= EF

Vertebrates minus Invertebrates =................= GH

Vertebrates + Invertebrates + Leaves =.........= JKL

The final cache can be found at :-

N51 CB.(G+H)(K+L)(D-C) W2 G(K+L).BD(K+L)

Please note that Reference No. 6 is missing and takes no part in this cache. Please do not waste time looking for it. This is a great cache to involve children so take them along !
