3 Points - No 1 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

biggingerwookie: I have decided to archive this cache. It has been muggled on more than one occasion, and, as has been pointed out in previous posts some of the clue caches have moved.

I will try and replace it with another cache based on a similar idea in the local area.

It's now time to make it a bit easier to allow lesser mortals the opportunity of finding it. Cruelty prevents me from making it a dead giveaway so there is still some preparatory work to be done. How you achieve the result is up to you!
 

Cache Latitude Longitude Distance

The above table shows three caches with their co-ordinates and distance from this cache. Where the three points meet should be the location of the cache. If you have any doubts about your method of finding the location please check with me before setting out.

A few further clues to check that you are in the right area:
a. The position is close to, but not at, a famous motor racing circuit.
b. The position is at the side of a road, not in a field, wood or park.
c. The road is narrow with passing places, the cache is next to a passing place.
d. Think of a world famous canine rescue centre - see it and you are on the right "track".
e. The cache is at the foot of the three trunks shown in the spoiler photo.

The cache is on a country lane that is well used. There is a suitable parking place not too far from the cache so please use it - do not use the passing place adjacent to the cache. Either leave children and pets in the car or ensure they are well supervised, especially when writing up the log.
