You now have all you need to find the cache at N50 59.[L+M]J[K+M] W000 55.[M+D]C[L+C
There are two ways to approach the final, one is sometimes wet or overgrown, if that's too much for you then you can go out onto the road and approach from that side. If you do go by the road please take extra care as it can be very busy.
Once you've found it you can make your way back to the carpark without retracing your steps.
The cache is a 1L container (so won't take big items). Please ensure the cache can't be seen once replaced.
A bit of background information on the place you'll be visiting:
The 69 acres Petersfield Heath (plus 22 acres of Lake) has seen much varied activity over the years. The earliest evidence of human habitation in the East Hants area has been found here, in the form of Mesolithic (~ 5000-2000 BC) hunting tools, and a hunting camp.
The Bronze age (~1500 BC) has left a group of 21 barrows and burial mounds, which is one of the most important groups in the country. Many of these can be easily seen (just look for any small hillock with trees on the top), you are free to explore all parts of the heath, including the barrows, although the cache trail does not take you onto any of the barrows.
For the last 700 years the Taro fair has been held here every October 6th originally this was a major horse fair, though nowadays it's the usual travelling Dodgems & Waltzers affair.
The lake was created in the 18th Century by farmers who grew tired of losing cattle in the marsh that preceded it and thought a lake would be safer. In more recent times there was a Golf course on the Heath, which has now been relocated outside the town, although the remains of fairways, tees and bunkers can still be seen. Nowadays visitors to the Heath can choose from boating, fishing, watching the Cricket, playing on the Children's playground, feeding the ducks, or hunting for Tupperware boxes!
Hot and Cold refreshments, and toilets are available beside the lake.
