Geocache Description:


At the given co-ordinates you will find a sign which relates to the name of this cache.
To find the cache location allot each word in the first paragraph on the sign a letter, starting with a.  In the equation below, each letter corresponds to a word on the sign and the number you need is the number of letters in the word.  
 
050 b(m+f).(a+k)o(d-m)
003 (c-m)(g+j).(h+c)(o+i)(f+e)
 
This will give you the co-ordinates of the container which is only a short walk from the sign. Once there it is just a process of elimination...
 
I owe the inspiration for this cache to two other cachers. 
There was, until recently, another cache in this area with a similar name and conundrum which this is intended to pay homage.
The second puzzle is borrowed from Jewdropssg60 who was CO of the first cache I came across with these; they made me chuckle and I hope they will you.
There is a pencil in the box and room for small trackables.
 
Feliciter!
