The cache is a 10mm diameter flip top pot - Please ensure container is replaced carefully

This tree was one celebrated in local folklore and it was said that on Midsummer's Eve skeletons would rise up and dance around it. At the given coordinates you will find a sign with details of the tree in text: If in a wheelchair the sign can be read from the pavement, cache is also accessible with assistance. There is plenty of space nearby to park up, gather info and enjoy a mooch to the find

Coordinates for the find are:

A = The number of letters in the two last words on second line multiplied by 7

B = Add 631 to the only number shown

It's a nice little mooch to the find.....



If not already done so there are quite a number of caches you could also look for whilst in the area so get mooching.
