Geocache Description:


This is our first attempt at placing a cache so we hope all goes well and would appreciate any feedback. As we enjoy doing multi caches we wanted to have a go at one, hence this is a five stage multi which is a walk along the Red Brook between Partington and Dunham and surrounding area of between 2-3 miles. The paths can get quite muddy in the winter so boots are recommended.

We suggest you park at the co-ordinates below, parking is allowed but it is quite a busy road so be careful.

The listed co-ordinates are for stage 1 where you will find co-ordinates for stage 2. These are in plain sight although you may need to look around for a visual aid.

Stage two is a hidden micro containing co-ordinates for stage 3.

Stage 4 co-ordinates can be found by using what you see at Stage 3 using the hint and then applying the code below. It will be patently obvious.

N53º24.ABC, W002º25.DEF, where:

A = 2nd Number plus 3rd Number
B = 1st Number minus 3rd Number
C = 6th Number minus 1st Number
D = 3rd Number
E = 2nd Number
F = 5th Number minus 2nd Number

The walk between stages 3 and 4 has a stretch of approximately ¼ mile along a country lane this can get a little busy at times so stick to the sides.

The final cache is a medium sized clip lid Tupperware container with the usual log book and trinkets including a FTF certificate and a Harry Potter Chess Collectable piece all inside a camouflage bag.

Parking co-ordinates are : N53°24.694 W002°25.929
