Geocache Description:

A puzzle multicache with 2 micro clues, 1 visual clue and a cache with an oriental flavour.

The coords above are for the Squinting Cat where you may wish to recover after the hunt. The first clue and final location are each within a mile, but not necessarily in the same direction . At least one location is fairly visible from the road – please be discreet!

If you walk the whole way, prepare for 2.5 to 3 miles total, there and back (depending on your starting point). Driving will cut the distance a little (but not a lot). Please choose parking places carefully.

If you can read Chinese, you will have a slight advantage here, but with the Web at your fingertips it’s not that difficult. If you're really stuck, a suggestion is in the hint. Be aware that there are small variations in the way characters are written, just as Roman letters can have different shapes, fonts, etc.

First clue:

The cache contents initially had a Chinese flavour (no, not noodles) and I tried to make them of reasonable quality. It would be nice if finders could stick to a broadly oriental theme.

The usual Yorkshire hazards apply i.e. mud, nettles, hawthorn, livestock, etc. No dry stones need be disturbed.
