The puzzle will give you the clue to the final location. The coords give you an idea as to the general location of the cache, but it is the clue which will enable you to pin point it.
The Puzzle:
Parked in town today, there were a total of 48 bicycles and tricycles. If the total number of wheels was 116, how many
tricycles were there?
Now, armed with that answer, make your way to the coords given (parking), cross the bridge over the canal and turn left, back towards Harborough. How the answer to the clue relates to the final GZ will become self evident.
This cache is equally doable if walking/cycling out along the canal from the Wharf in Harborough as the relevance of the answer to the puzzle is equally noticeable from that direction - perhaps combine it with "The Wharf Walkabout" and "Curse of the FTF Leicestershire #15".
If walking from the bridge, the cache will take only 20 mins walking approx. to get back to the bridge. If coming from the wharf, allow 40 mins good pace to get from the Wharf and back. You are looking for a 1.5l clip top box.
Please note, the path to the cache is alongside a canal, so keep an eye on young ones (though the path is wide and well surfaced). Please also note, it does get very muddy after bad weather!
