Geocache Description:

Multi Cache within Windmill Hill Community Nature Area

The above coordinates are for the car park which is available 0730 to dusk daily, pedestrian access is available at all times via a gate at the side of the vehicle gate or from the footpath at N52° 32.268' W001° 29.858'. Alternative car parking is available a short way up the access track for a couple of cars (see additional waypoints for coordinates) though do take care not to block the gateway.

Beware of the muggles in the house overlooking the car park if you are doing this cache outside of car park hours

The site was originally a tree nursery for the local council before going out of use and being converted into a Community Nature Area. There are some excellent views over Nuneaton and out into South Leicestershire - on a good day you can see the hills of Derbyshire in the distance.

The name Windmill Hill comes from the unusual five sailed windmill which used to stand at the top of the hill. The brick structure of this windmill still remains (in private ownership) near the final part of the cache.

In the car park you need to find three numbers:
The telephone number for the Groundworks Coventry & Warwickshire 0A676 52BC20.
The length of the Quarryman's Walk in miles D.E1 and the length of the Arden Heritage Trail 2F mile circular route.
Feed these numbers into the formula below to give the coordinates of a micro cache which holds the coordinates of the final part of the cache.
N52° 32.C (D+A)(D-F)' W001° 29.(F+C)(D+E+A)(D-F-A)'

If you should find yourself going outside of the boundary hedge / fence then you have got something wrong. All of the parts are withing the Nature area

The final cache is a camoflaged small food container containing the usual log book plus a few goodies and a certificate for the First to Find.

Please ensure that the final part of the cache is well hidden on departure as the area is frequented by many junior muggles as well as older muggles exercising their dogs
