This begins as a short easy waddle around the village, looking for answers to the set of questions listed below. These answers will eventually give you a set of co-ords, which will lead you to a small canister containing co-ords for the actual camouflaged cache. The walk should only take about thirty minutes or so, with the actual cache an approx 10 minutes from your final location. This final walk may require sturdier footwear, it could be wet / muddy in winter.
The co-ords for the canister containing the information for the final camouflaged cache are :
N52 IA HBC W001 DF EGJ
