Within a 1000 feet of the English/Welsh Border, on the English side, situated at the crossroads of the A489 Churchstoke-Newtown and B4385 Montgomery- Bishops Castle roads is the Bluebell Public House, infront of which are a pair of really old petrol pumps, one of these still has a price displayed at - 4/3 which equates to 4.95p per litre!!!!!! (Current everyday price being about 129.9p per litre - January 2011) so I'm guessing it was last used in the 1960's. The cache itself is not hidden in or on either pump, neither is it hidden in the tree and is accessable from the roadside. Please be aware of traffic at the location, keep yourselves and geokids and pets safe at all times. There is room to pull over at the side of the road, plus of course you could park up an us the facilities of the Bluebell Public House.
Following concerns from the proprietor of the Public House a slight modifications has been made to the cache location - she is happy for the continuation of this cache but asks for neither the petrol pumps or tree to be searched.
