The Crazy Catkin Cache Mystery Cache
Deceangi: Rather than keep this cache temporarily disabled (which should only be used for shortish periods) I'm archiving it. If/when the cache is ever replaced I'll gladly unarchive it assuming it still meets the guidelines.

Bedfont Lakes Country Park
Easiest to go by car but beware, the car parks close at dusk or 9pm and there are no easy alternative parking places nearby.
British Rail to Ashford station, one mile away, or to Feltham Station then route H26 bus ride (approx.15 minutes).
By Tube: Piccadilly Line to Hatton Cross, then a short taxi or route H26 bus ride.
With many thanks to Kewfriend who assisted us with getting this cache working as it should. I can only promise to be more careful and less clever for our next cache! Trust me, it is all correct and fairly easy to do now..(honest!)
CLUE 1
The first clue is at the starting post. Look at the number on this post (next to the E) and add ten to it. Now subtract this number from the northing and head for clue 2.
CLUE 2
N 51.26.??? (see Clue 1)
W 000.26.462
Count the crenellations at the top (a number more than 50 and less than 65). Divide this number by 5. Take this number away from the latest (current) Northing.
Take the number of meters above sea level of the highest point in Hounslow to the nearest ten and add on the number of tyres you can see from this position. Now take this number away from the latest (current) westing.
Head for clue 3.
CLUE 3 ("Footprint Post")
N 51.26.???
W 000.26.??? (approx, you are in fact plus or minus 2)
Add ALL the numbers together on the top of this post. This number is A
Count all the individual animal markings on the post. This number is B (count carefully, did you miss any?)
Add together A & B to make X (X=A+B)
Now multiply X by 10. Finally take away 125 from this number to get Y. ( Y = (X * 10) - 125 )
Save this number Y for later.
CLUE 4
N 51.26.517
W 000.26.577
How many big yellow doors (all of the same type) can you see from here (may not be possible in the dark)? Multiply this number by a hundred and then add 196 (This number is Z)
Now it is time to head for the cache:
N 51.26.Y
W 000.26.Z
The cache is a smallish blue tupperware box. Contents are pokemon related items, small plastic animals, log book and pen.
