Circular woodland/riverside walk of about 1.7m taking in views of Freshford and Sharpstone villages and excellent views of the valley. Not suitable for pushchairs as area is very muddy in places. Should take around an hour to complete.
Park at the given coordinates above. They take you nearby to a white sign with 2 words on it. Let 'a' be the amount of letters in the first word and 'b' the amount of letters in the second word. Now solve the following equation to take you to the next waypoint:
N 5 1 20. 3 b-a b-6
W 0 0 2 18. b-a 9 3
At this waypoint there is a plaque. Take the year on the plaque and number the numbers abcd. Then solve the next equation to take you to the next waypoint:
N 5 1 ab. c d 5
W 0 0 2 18. b 7 d
Follow the lane through Sharpstone Village, under the 'mansion', turning right at the T junction and then immediatly left after the white painted terraced cottage.
The coordinates take you to a gate. Let 'a' be the amount of horizontal wooden bars on the main gate and 'b' the amount of diagonal bars on the main gate. Now solve the final equation to take you to the cache:
N 5 1 19. a+b 8 0
W 0 0 2 18. b 7 a-b
Then reload the parking coordinates and walk the short distance back to your car. Happy caching!!!!
