Geocache Description:

This is the last of a series of eight caches associated with our local burn. It is accessible along a reasonable path that is muddy in places. As water and steep slopes are nearby due care should be taken with children.

This is a 1.5l snaplock box containing a selection of items to trade, including a Silva compass, 'Orrible 'Orris and two TBs and a Geocoin I collected in British Columbia. The co-ordinates given indicate the start of the path leading to the cache site. To find the cache you need to have visited the other seven caches in the series and carefully noted the numbers inside the lids. Discard the number that doesn't fit the sequence and arrange the others in the order of the sequence. Call the numbers when in that order A to F and the cache is hidden at N 54, 56.ABC; W 001. 58.DEF. In case the co=ordinates are not spot on - there is alot of tree cover - I've tried to give a helpful clue.

ADDED 25/06/10: In the light of comments received and because no-one has yet solved the sequence unaided I'm giving you an extra clue. Jura abgvat gur ahzoref, qba'g whfg abgr gurve inyhrf naq erzrzore gur anzr bs guvf pnpur!

Update 2/8/15. I checked this cache the other day and it is still snugly hidden. As I am conscious however that not all the 'feeder' info may be available I'm giving you the numbers.
