Geocache Description:

A short puzzle multi requiring a little specialist equipment ( not provided ). You will need all your senses to find this one ( especially sharp eyes and a sense of what is normal in the end ).

This could be a fairly quick cache if you are prepared or have the neccesary equipment in your pocket . The published coordinates are of recommended parking ( for one or two cars ).

Between point A ... N51 24.513 , W002 20.642
...... and point B ... N51 24.440 , W002 20.524

there is a short lane which becomes a path and somewhere along this lane whispering Ssid will reveal to you the location of the cache itself. You may be able to sniff out his hiding place as he is a bit whiffy. Bear in mind that Ssid has never travelled far and is unaware that there is any need to define location by anything other than minutes and he would not even know what a degree is. You will have to use all the sensory equipment at your disposal. If this sounds a bit cryptic then dont worry as it will become crystal clear once you are on the right wavelength.

Once you have picked up Ssid's message you can follow the path onwards from point B. The container should be reasonably visible from the path and is only a few metres away from it. No photographs please.

If you want to have a longer walk, continue along the path afterwards, it can take you up onto the top of Solsbury Hill, when you get to a road, turn right and then pick up the path again on your left about 50m up the lane. Just follow the footpath signs and aim uphill, it can also be very muddy in places. On the top of the hill there is a straight forward cache and a couple of puzzles that will require some advance planning/research. But the views alone make it well worth the walk.
