NB A few comments made by finders are worth adding here. Local pub,
The Cuckoo, seems to meet with approval from visitors as does the
local stores at the post office, where, also, light meals and tea
can be had in the tea-room. Also worth a visit in season is the
local fruit picking farm along the Oundle Road and towards the
direction of Elton, with its children's play area and farm shop.
This cache is very close to the A1 and could be a quick cache as
the clues are close together. Co-ordinates are given for a good
position to answer the clues. The answers give the missing digits
for the final location of the micro-cache which contains just a
very small log-book in a film canister. Please bring a pencil or
pen... All clues can be solved from the public pavements and the
route uses public access routes and footpaths. There can be
passers-by at the cache location so please do exercise caution!
When it has been very wet over a long period there could be
flooding on the lower part of the route. Please take care to
reposition the container so that it cannot be seen from either side
of the post. NB We had some difficulty getting good fixes due to
the tree cover and obtained a variety of co-ordinates. The most
noticeable change was that at the end of the day the
“westings” were rather higher than at the earlier part
of the day. The final figures are an average of the total figures
obtained. At no time is it necessary to venture into private
property or into the river!

arched open doorway and minus one from the answer. That single
digit is D
Now enter the numbers you have found into the final location.
Final location N 52 33.1AB, W 000 19.7DC
