A small cache in a camouflaged tupperware box. Can be found from co-ordinates in a nano, or by solving puzzles. Good paths, but a tricky anti-motorcycle trap hinders wheelchairs and pushchairs.
The cache is located near to the old coal chutes, on the Wryley & Essington canal, near Chasewater. They were used to load coal from the local mines into waiting barges.
Take care near the water. You do not have to lean over water to reach the nano. Please sign the nano log if you find it, and replace it in the correct place to match the spoiler.
I have made this a bit of a 2 in 1 cache.
The co-ordinates are for a magnetic nano with the cache co-ordinates in. Park at N52° 39.660' W1° 55.972' for this route.
If it is missing, or you fancy a nice little walk, park at N52° 39.835' W1° 56.451', on Chasewater County Park.
The final cache is at N52 39.ABC W001 56.DEF.
Walk up to the reservoir, and along to the building at n52 39.845 w1 56.484 This building houses the mechanism that controls the outflow of water from the lake into the canal at the basin.
A= one more than the number of sides of the building.
Now turn round, and follow the path down to the canal basin (deep water, and underwater currents from the weir!), and goto n52 39.841 w1 56.435. There is an iron sign here. There is a blue plaque on the sign with some history on it.
B= number of letters in either word beginning in "B"
Take a seat on a wooden bench at n52 39.839 w1 56.413.
C= the number of benches here.
Now walk along the canal path to n52 38.843 w1 56.368.
There are some wooden posts here, count them.
F= (number of posts minus one) divided by two
Walk further until you reach n52 39.807 w1 56.248. This is a cycle path sign.
E= one more than the number of words engraved down the post on one of the 4 sides.
Finally, there are several yellow signs about, one is at
n52 39.809 w1 56.137.
D= the number of words on the yellow sign without a letter "e" in them.
Take a look at the coal chutes as you are passing, maybe try to find the nano to check your co-ords!
