Geocache Description:

The cache is a small Tupperware box located just off a surfaced canal towpath. The co-ordinates are for the first part of the cache.

Catshill is the oldest inhabited area of Brownhills. The cache is located in what was known as Catshill in Walsall Wood in the Township of Walsall Foreign.

The cache is located near to water, please take care with geokids, and may be in view of local anglers.

Anglers park on the grassy area at N52 38.443 W1 55.540, but I suggest parking at Tescos N52 38.714 W 001 55.998, which gives access to "Off Your Trolley". You can then cross the bridge to reach the co-ordinates.

The cache is located at

N52 AB.CDE W001 55.FGH

To find the cache go to the original co-ordinates.

You are standing next to the CATSHILL JUNCTION direction sign.

A= the number of direction plates on the sign.
B= the miles to Rushall Junction.
C= the number of letters in the centre of the circle atop the sign. (The first letter is B, the last is S)
The distance to Anglesey Basin is 2 D/E miles.

On the other side of the canal is a large metal sign.

F= {[The number of sectors (pie slices) that make up the sign] minus one}
G= The number of large fish, each in its own "box"
H= The number of insects on the sign.

Additional Hints (Decrypt)
