The given reference is just that - a reference point. You’d need a boat to get there as it plots on Horseshoe Island, the island from which Horseshoe Lake takes its name. The cache is, however, within 250m of the reference point.
If you’ve not already found Horseshoe Lake - GC1M3E2 - you may like to have a go at the same time as you look for this one.
The cache is at N 51° HE.JKA W 000° AD.AEE and you’ll need to use the following table to substitute the correct numbers for the given letters:

You’ll need to refer to the Ordnance Survey Landranger 1:50,000 map of the Yateley area to solve the puzzle. If you don’t have a copy of the map you can download the area you’ll need at www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk or use something like www.multimap.co.uk which is what I used to set the puzzle.
The nano cache contains a write in the wet scroll log only so you’ll need a pen, pencil or small stamp to record your visit.
The Gallery includes a few Multimap screen shot extracts that might help if you’re really stuck. Once you've solved the puzzle you can check the coordinates on GeoChecker.com.
As Multimap is no longer available I've uploaded to the Gallery an image of the area required from the OS 1:50,000 map.
