Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

Up and running again, if it disapears again then I will have to archive it once and for all. The box fits quite snugly in its hidey-hole so please be extra vigilant when replacing it as it could be visible from the path otherwise. Enjoy!
The above location is not for the cache but for a car-park about 600metres or so away, the path can get muddy in wet weather.
The clues to find the final co-ordinates are to be found at six rural or semi-rural pubs aound the South Lancs/North Merseyside area. There is no need to enter any of the pubs but if you can find a nominated driver then most, if not all are well worth a visit or three.
It may be worth trying to work out a route between the various pubs beforehand as going in order from A to F is probably not the best idea, indeed, try to aim at finish at A as it is the nearest to your eventual destination.
A - N53 32.557 W002 55.205 Add the number of pairs of antlers on one side only of the pub sign to the number of horses painted in the car park.
B - N53 33.967 W002 57.699 Mulitply the number of windows on the house by the number of windows on the barge on the sign.
C - N53 33.239 W002 57.607 There are two figures that are the same on the date at the front of this pub, use one of them.
D - N53 35.858 W002 49.786 Add the number of gold topped bollards at the front of the inn to the amount of sets of lock-gates on the 100 yards or so stretch of water behind the pub. (Careful with any little ones here as the water can be deep!)
E - N53 32.193 W002 57.604 This very old pub has a date on the front, use the second digit (beware Wednesday nights if you want a quiet drink, it's biker night!)
F -N53 35.017 W002 53.495 This pub also has a date on the front, add the 3rd and 4th digits to obtain your answer.
The final co-ordinates are N53 32.ABC W002 54.DEF.
When you are close to the cache there is no need to cross any fences, stick to the path and you should be ok.
The cache contains the usual goodies plus a couple of TBs, just the usual warning about having a quick look around before retrieving and replacing it. Enjoy!
