This two stage cache is situated off of the Buckleberry Alley road from the Cold Ash straight.
This cache has been updated as the clue's were wrong and the plastic tupperware box leaked. The new box is a small ammo box.
The start of the path is at 51 26.030, 001 15.898 and leads into the woods.
You can park a little further along in Drove Road (51 26.052, 001 15.792) next to the By-Way.
Stage 1
How many horizontal wooden beams are there at the start of the path? This is x.
Follow the path to 51 25.x0x 001 15.(x-1)8(x-9)
When you get to the first stage in the woods, count the number of all the vertical posts. This is y.
Now count the number of nails which are in the tops of the short posts. This is z.
Next use all numbers to calculate the cache location by substituting them in the following equation:
51 2(z+1).(y+2)y(x-z), 001 1(x-z).(y+2)((y+z)-x)y
Due to this location being in the woods, I strongly suggest you stop regularly and wait for the gps reading to settle down.
**Note** The final location of the cache is different from before due to the size of the ammo box.
Contents are the usual goodies, a cache camera and log book.
Hope you enjoy this one and maybe take time to explore more of the woods.
