Geocache Description:


West Midlands 2022

Willow Farm

A multi-cache needs you to collect numeric clues to work out where the geocache really is. Work out the numbers from the info board, use the formula to get the final coordinates, and use your app's 'add waypoint' feature to plug the numbers in.


A=1st column: How many sluices survice intact on The Willows?
B=1st column: The number of letters in the name of the specially built ridges in these fields.
C=3rd column: Number of letters in the last word of the lapwing's other name, as listed here.
D=2nd column: In the 1970s, D0% of the suices were still in situ.
E=3rd column: How many words in the name of the final animal mentioned?
F= 2nd column: How many towns are mentioned that supplied sheep to the Uttoxeter market by train?
The geocache is a mega bison hanging very nearby at:
N52 54.ABC W001 50.DEF
