Geocache Description:


Despite its name when you get here, its not a field!  This geocache first stage places you at the start of a nice circular walk through some lovely woods.  Great for a dog walk, but beware of ticks in the summer! 
NOTE: This cache is on Forestry Commission land and has been placed in accordance with the GAGB - Forestry Commission Agreement. As part of this Agreement, it is not permitted to seek the cache during the hours of darkness (ref KW7818)

The first stage is a virtual cache and the second stage is a small cache.  There is parking for several cars at the location of the first point of the geocache. To find the second stage of the geocache you will need to:
1) Translate the name of the location found at the first cache into French (translate each word separately)
2) Using the French name of the location, dial the letters on your phone (no spaces and you will end up with 12 digits which when added all together will equal 62. As an example the letter 'H' would give you digit 4 on your phone)
3) Then starting at the first digit on your phone and moving to the next digits on your phone work out the co-ordinates. The first digit=D1, the second digit=D2, the third digit=D3 etc up to twelfth digit=D12

The coordinates are: N5(D1-2) (D2+1)(D3-1).(D4-2)(D5+1)(D6-1) W(D7-4) (D8-6)(D9-4).(D10+1)(D11-2)(D12-7)
