The cache is not at the co-ordinates shown above. They are
for the suggested parking place. In order to find the cache you
will need to obtain the numbers from the points listed below in
order to work out the final location of the cache. The whole walk
is just under 2 miles and is along a good level path.
Please take care near the canal, particularly near the locks.
There is no need to go close to the waters edge in order to locate
the clues or the final cache.
From the Car park (N52°50.078 W002°58.954) follow the track
alongside the canal to the first location.

bridge. These digits are A B.
N52°49.976' W002°59.114' What is the speed limit here?

last clue location. There's a bench here. What is the earliest year
on the plaque? This gives you H I J K.

Good Luck! If you time it right, you'll be back at the Queens
Head in time for lunch. They have a good selection of food on offer
although it is very popular at times.
