Telephone Numbers Multi-cache

Fushi Cho & Co.: I've decided to re-design this Cache as the route crosses another Cache. I'm busy most lunchtime in work but if I get the chance I'll find somewhere else to move it.

Geocache Description:

You start near Chipping Sodbury High Street. You can do the whole thing with a push chair easy. Terrain and distance are easy, I just hope my description of creating the co-ordinates is easy too.

PHONE NUMBERS
N 51 32.380 / W 002 23.711
This is my first placing of a cache.
It’s ended up a little more complicated than I would like but I think it works.
Please let me know if you think the instructions can be improved.
It can all be easily done with kids and push chairs, the only place to be careful is at the footbridge (across a stream) which leads out to a side road.

The Way point given is a large (free) Car park where I recommend you park.
Exit the Car park through the entrance you drove in and turn left (away from the mini-roundabout and past a 20 mile per hour speed limit sign) about 100 yards along here is a sign for HANSON (The Ridge) on the bottom of this sign is an Emergency phone number.
Assign each digit a letter from A to K.

In case you're one of those people who doesn’t read the whole thing before you start, I’d better warn you that you need to note both phone numbers down for use later. So don’t just work out the next way point and set off or you’ll have to go back)
The first way point to go to is : N 51 32.364 / W 002.23.ICE
(Where I,C and E are replaced with digits from the phone number)

This is the entrance to a park, walk through the park across the foot bridge and turn right on the road. Ahead of you, you should see a blue sign (for Ridge Wood), the cache is in the wood.
("No surprise there" I hear you say)
On the right hand side of this sign towards the bottom are two phone numbers. (about 6 inches apart)

Assign the letters L to V to the digits in the lower phone number.
The next way point is : N 51 SU.TPO / W 002 UN.LQT

On the way there you might like to know the large building at the top of the bank over looking the wood is where I work.

The way point is a small square building with a red metal sign attached to a short post OUTSIDE it. (Don’t go in)
On that post are the words “Gas Insulating joint” and two letters.

The two letters should have already been allocated numbers (as one of the two letters in the phone numbers you’ve already recorded).
Now using the letters as digits that you’ve got from both phone numbers you can work out the cache way point as follows :
Cache way point is : N 51 SU.FT(1ST Letter) / W 002 U(2ND Letter).MMG

Good luck and if you're on this route between 12:30 and 1:30 on a week day I might walk past you on a lunchtime visit to the town.

Do take a look at Chipping Sodbury High Street while you’re here it’s classic market town stuff.
