Geocache Description:

Solve the clues around the beautiful village of Shepherdswell before entering a wonderful woodland of delight.

Welcome to the village of Shepherdswell. Solve each clue to find the co-ordinates to the next clue. Each answer will provide you with a single digit figure. Once you have solved all of them you will be able to solve the co-ordinates to the final cache located in such beauty. Spring would be the best time to see this woodland, so come back again if the wild flowers are not growing. I hope you enjoy it.

Starting at Shepherds Well Railway Station, find the "Miners Way" information board situated on the pavement.

-------------------------------------------------------
The final cache awaits you. Enter the wood and follow the path. You will find this at
51 11.HD(F-C), 001 1B.AC(F-B)
-------------------------------------------------------
Congratulations, I hope!
-------------------------------------------------------
Continue on the path. You will end up back at the entrance again if you do not deviate off it.

Should you wish to take a scenic route back to the start (1.8 miles), exit the woods and turn right. Follow up the hill to the junction and turn left. After approximately 3/4 mile, turn left follow down the hill and to the junction at the end, then turn left again.

Alternatively, head back the way you came.
