Geocache Description:

Wild Goose Chase 2. The second in a brace of minimalist puzzle caches.

The above co-ordinates are near a footpath near the remains of a Roman Villa. “Geese - Bless!” (or "Ansers benedicti sunt") might have been what these Romans said on hearing how the Capitol was saved from the Gauls. D’you know Juno’s Geese? Don’t follow it up, it won’t help. Following “Geese - Bless!…” with the clue below, might help more.

If you can solve the puzzle, there is no need to go to the above co-ordinates.

If you cannot, then there is another minimalistic clue on the footpath to the West of the private residences labelled “Hadworth Farm” on the OS maps. Look for the middle one of three public footpath signs on the west side and the micro is at the foot of this middle post. This sign is the closest of the three to the above co-ordinates and conveniently the least overlooked, please be discreet. The micro is not spot on the above co-ordinates, but there is a reason for that – which is relevant.

Clue to co-ordinates: "... but one of them does not win!"
