Geocache Description:

Strangely Curious Walk in the Park - Part 3

Enjoy a breath of fresh air out in the open but don't lose your head

The co-ordinates given above at not those for the cache, a bit of adding is needed to them.

The Series  
Walk in the Woods, Part 3 This is the third in a series of caches around the perimeter of Hillsborough Forest Park. As the name of the series suggests the caches are intended to test your GPS handling skills and opening your mind to the art of camouflage. There are five caches in the series, all with different challenges both in the way you get to ground zero and the type of containers they are hidden in. The caches are all on a 4 – 5Km circular walk, some of which are on soft tracks made by animals and dog walkers, so make sure you wear good footwear. Allow yourself about 2 hours of good light to complete all five caches; you’ll need it to find some of the caches.

Part 3.

  

Visit each of the given ways points in consecutive order and between way points 6 and 7 you will find two trees 20m apart with numbers on them. The combination of the two numbers are 59, the low number should be added to the least significant Northern decimal given above (359) - and the larger to the least significant Westerly decimal (788). This will take you to a place with good GPSr reception where you can find the cache, once again a small micro, similar in size to a 35mm film canister and it only contains a log, a pencil and more of those numbers you’ll need later. Please take care with this container, the top comes straight up to reveal the log.
Update 6th Mar 2010
Due to Forestry activity the two required trees have been removed. To enable you to complete the cache the trees had the numbers 26 and 33 on them before they where cut down!!

Warning this cache has 2.5 terrain rating for a reason, please ensure you are prepared for wet rough ground, to and from the cache.
