Geocache Description:


The cache isn't at the coordinates given but both they and the actual location are thematically appropriate. The underlying theme of this puzzle is a piece of entertainment from my childhood - some sensible searches will reveal it. Happy to give hints. There is a trackable and little gift for the FTF/STF - pick one! Assume N52 and W001.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

 

White and grey birds were the first thing I saw while walking in the local woods some time ago. It was a siege of herons, yes, a siege of herons! This was the first of several types of British wildlife on my walk. However, due to my surprise, my notes were scribbled hastily. I saw:

(Neh) sucihcloc sunaisahp x10

Eaniecanire (enis, sulucinuc sugalotcyro)

 

Dear reader, it is lucky I was prepared for the winter weather, plus an incoming storm. I huddled under covers, and luckily the local wildlife stayed around and gave me further entertainment. Alas, I couldn’t see my notes and so again, they need translating:

Eaniledoruelp & (kcoc) sucihcloc sunaisahp

Sucitavlys sumedopa x5

 

Park life seemed peaceful and idyllic, but I hoped that the creatures I’d seen stayed safe. There are such a variety of dangers - how long until they meet their demise?
