Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache leading to a 1 litre plastic lock and lock box along the old Frome to Radstock railway line which is now a cycle path.

The above co-ordinates are for the Conduit Hill Bridge where we parked. The cache is not at these co-ordinates but somewhere along the old railway line between Conduit Hill Bridge and the road access near Babington.

The cache is at:

N51 (A)(B).(E-A)(C+E-F)(A+B)

W002(C)(D).(B-E)(B-A+F)(A+A-C)

[4m accuracy]

Where A...F all lie between 0 and 9 and the contents of each bracket is a number between 0 and 9.

If I tell you that it is about 5 paces from the railway track (on the opposite side from the cycle track) and not within 160m of an existing cache that should reduce the search area to around 1800 square metres, thus allowing some of you (see logs from GCXQ5E or look at the first few logs from GC1572V when it was still a puzzle cache) to conduct an exhaustive/exhausting search.

But then again the container could be camouflaged and this might up the difficulty to 5*.

Since it is a puzzle cache I have put a few puzzles in as trade items.

The route is suitable for children but you need to watch out for cyclists and the stream that runs along the side of the track.

Pushchairs and bikes can be wheeled to within 20m of the cache site. There may be a few brambles/nettles around. You do not need to cross any gates/stiles etc. to reach the cache.

Once you get to the coordinates you'll find the cache hidden in the obvious feature.
