Geocache Description:

A nice easy cache with parking just meters from the start location. The cache will take you on a short walk around the common taking approx 15 - 20 mins to do the required counting, solving and finding of the cache. The cache is a nano size and only contains a logbook. You will need to take a pen.


From the start location you will see a car park which you may have parked in, you will need to go to it (or back to it) and count the rocks around its perimeter. Round the number up to the nearest ten (to avoid miscounts). Make a note of this number.

From the car park look in the NE direction and you will see a bench, make a note of the number of legs it has.

From the bench walk in an Easterly direction down the path all the way to a railway bridge (not in sight but not far), go under the railway bridge but take an immediate right on the other side. Follow the little steep path to the top and continue to follow the fence on your right until you see a tarmac path. You should be able to see some more large rocks up here following the edge of the tarmac path, make a note of the number of rocks.

Finally the co-ordinates for the final cache location are:

A = Number of rocks around the car park

B = number of legs on the bench

C = Number of rocks around path

N 052 07.(A+((C-B)xB))9

W 002 19.0(Ax(C-B))

**Congratulations to Dobunnis (Helen and Carolyn) for the first find :)**

[NOTE: 23/05/2015] Please note there have been a few DNF's recently but the cache is confimed to still be in place. Take the title of the cache with a pinch of salt and read it more like "X" Marks the roundabout area..... As a rule I can’t imagine that area being more than a 3 ft radius from the "X" but this also means dead leaves may have settled in place and hidden the cache further. Please try and replace the "X" so that the title remains as true as possible. Good Luck. (thanks to elfre for your help)
