The poSted cO-ordinates are not the tRue location of the cache.
You will need to calculate the actual co-oRdinates bY analysing the
description and solving the correct puzzle..
This is a cache conTainer Hidden in countryside on the outskIrtS of
Treeton, within 1 mile of the posted co-ords, and not in the middle
of a road. Fake co-ordinates may land you in deep water..
Treeton is a lovely village offering the best of both worlds; a
small frIendly community out in the countryside, but also with eaSy
access to the M1, M18, Meadowhall, Rotherham, Sheffield and
Doncaster.....
Evidence exists even today of humaN activity as far back as the
mesolithic (middle stone age) periOd, dating to around 7,500 to
4,000 BC. I think some of their descendanTs still hang around near
the shops in the evening......
Archaeological excavations in 1954 found the remains of A 24 foot
wide Roman road, with 5 foot wide walkways on either side, and a
drainage culvert, which crosses the parish.

070 Thousand and possibly even 185 thousand by thE 23rd century as

Nothing from this sentence on is related to the puzzle, these
are hard facts:
1) Bring a pencil; this is a small water-proof medical container a
bit like a 35mm film-canister. I'll put a pencil in it but you know
how the small ones break.
2) There are 5 sets of FAKE co-ordinates hidden within this
listing. Check your co-ordinates in Google Maps or Google Earth
before you set-off; if they are in water, in the middle of the
village or in the middle of a farmer's field you have got the wrong
ones. You can also validate your answer here:
Geochecker.com.
3) Email me if you're really stuck and want a clue, but please show
evidence that you have tried ie. provide two or three of the fake
co-ordinates.
4) Email me if you wish me to validate or reject any co-ordinates
for you. I will normally respond quite promptly.
5) Please DO NOT post clues or spoilers in your log - if I deem
them "too useful" I will delete your log and notify you.
