Geocache Description:

To regular travellers of the Midlands motorways, this should be easy. Of course, it is only easy when you know the answer!


The cache is not at the location above, but it is within 10 miles of it.

All you have to do is to work out from where the picture you see below was taken.

Get yourself to where the photo was taken. No access or parking from below! The picture was taken around 11am, if this helps. Stand on the bridge, right over the middle of the central reservation, and about 3 feet back from the rail. Take a waypoint in GRB36 datum, e.g SP xxxxx yyyyy. Then add 465 to the northing co-ordinate and subtract 1003 from the easting. You now have the co-ordinates of the cache, which is a 2L tupperware box with the usual goodies.

Google Earth may be helpful if you are looking in the right area.

Enjoy!
