Geocache Description:

A small cache located at N 51 06.089 W ??? ??.???, that can be found by adding together the two separate numbers you find lowest to the ground at the first location. Put a decimal point in front of this number (.nnn) and then add 000 45.741 to the total. This will give you the 'W' coordinate for the actual cache.

I hope you enjoy trying to find this multi-cache, as it's situated at Waggoners' or Wakeners' Wells, which is a lovely National Trust site consisting of a series of stream-fed man-made ponds which may have originally been constructed as hammerponds for the local iron industry in the 17th-century. They appear never to have been used for iron production and today these ponds are important for wildlife and contain a variety of fish.

Pockets of semi-natural sessile oak woodland occur along the valley sides and the mature trees alongside the ponds harbour fascinating lichen communities with other plants characteristic of ancient wood pasture. Redpoll, Wood Warbler, Woodcock, Spotted Flycatcher and Tawny Owl use the marginal woodland and Kingfisher, Coot and other wildfowl inhabit the ponds. Good Luck!

NOTE: THE NATIONAL TRUST HAVE KINDLY GIVEN PERMISSION TO PLACE CREEPY HOLLOW IN THE WOODS. PLEASE RESPECT THE BYELAWS FOR THIS LOCATION :
