Geocache Description:


Oaky-dokey is a series of caches around part of Shire Brook Valley, celebrating our most iconic native tree.  There is a bonus cache at the end, so make sure you get the information from the logbooks. The series is 2.5 miles if you start from the nature reserve car park.  There are some slopes and uneven ground, but generally the paths are in decent condition. 

Oak fact. There are two kinds of native oak trees; 'English' and 'Sessile'.  English has acorns on stalks and Sessile has leaves on stalks.

At the coordinates you will find an out of place sporting object with some characters on the angle - e.g. AAA:1111:AA:11.  Ignore the letters and use the numbers to work out the final coordinates.  21.ABC 23.DEF where

A = 6th digit divided by 2nd digit.
B = 1st digit
C = 3rd digit
D = 3rd digit
E = 3rd digit
F = 2nd digit

The sum of A to F is 27

(NB When I placed this cache, my phone was not agreeing with my gps reading, so the coordinates may be a bit off. There aren't that many places the cache can be though.)
