THESE ARE NOT THE CO-ORDINATES OF THE CACHE, BUT OF A NEARBY HOSTELRY WHERE THE TRAVELLING CACHERS MAY HAVE MET FOR THE WIRRAL EVENT.
29th Dec 05 - cache relocated as there have been 2 instances of muggles interference. You still park at the same place to find the cache.
At the Wirral event, the organiser found they were sat in a row chatting with four other cachers. During discussions, they found out that each was from a different country, used a different GPS receiver, liked to find a different type of cache and also set a different type of hunt. With the help of the following clues, can you find the EVENT organisers cache?

The cache is a medium sized Tupperware style box hidden in a camouflaged bag.
Small “Red-Herring” caches (in camouflage bags) exist at the other four locations.
They are all hidden close to paths and bridleways in the Storeton area on the NE side of the M53. Some of the terrain is unsuitable for buggies etc. Please ensure no-one sees you at any of the cache sites as they are all in the open and there has been muggle interference in the past.
Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
