Why a C-C-Cache?
First it’s a Complex cache – in that it's a double. Follow the first clues to find part one. Then if you have the time and energy carry on and find part two, the second cache. Or do it another day – but you need to do part 1 first! Second, it's a Christmas cache – only because that's when I hid it. And the area is quite popular in the summer but in the winter it's likely to be all yours, except for the odd dog walker or twitcher. NOTE: The coordinates given are those for the car park, the start of part #1, BUT ONLY ROUGHLY (an exact copy of those coordinates is not allowed). The description for part #1 is to be found at GCZV2E and this part continues from the last clue point of that part. The walk is along footpaths all the way, but can be muddy after rain. NOTE2: due to a major change to the make up of the paths where the cache WAS hidden I have had to replace it elsewhere. It is now not as far along the route as before, and thus quite soon after the location of clue #2. The calculations and final hint have been changed to match.

For the first clue for this stage, at N 51 21.142 W 000 50.574 The central bars across the side of the bridge are attached to the uprights with shiny (sometimes) bolts. At the most there are a group of "m" bolts at a join, sometimes two-thirds of that number (="n"). Take the difference - that's 'E'. How many horizontal bars on each side of the approach railings (that's 'F')..... (each, not both!)
Now walk on for 5 or 10 minutes to clue 2 of this part at N 51 21.180 W 000 50.252 How many strips on the horizontal part of the seat? (That's 'G').
...
So now it’s another 5 or 10 minutes walk onwards to find the little cache at
N 51 (B*C).(F-E)(C+E)(D-G) W 000 (C*C).(C+E)(A-B)(F-E)
Please be careful to put it back so it's not too easily seen. The container is a small black screw-top box containing: just a new log book and a starter gift - BRING YOUR OWN PENCIL. Since you've come this far, you could continue, bearing left, and return to the car park along the minor road (fairly quiet – but take care, of course) and make it a circular tour.
