Cache Description
Time Waits
Tick Tock.....
Tick Tock.......
Waiting for the hands to stop,
The sands of man will pour no more,
When big and small point to the door.
The cache is a clip-lock box suitable for trackables.
Please also ensure cache is well hidden and camouflaged afterwards.
Location Information
A circular walk of about 3 to 4 miles through woodland and fields, excellent views and bumble bees seem to thrive in this area.
This cache concept was originally set up by 'Pobblepop', and we wanted to put another cache here using the same logic.
At each stage of the multi-cache, you will find a clue item, use the hint if needed as they are well hidden, please DO NOT remove these and ensure it is just as well hidden afterwards, these items are used to solve the final cache location.
Make a note of the information from the clue, then hide the clue again afterwards in exactly the same place. Please ensure it is well camouflaged.
The walk involves hills and some muddy terrain, so please ensure you have good walking boots and are prepared for any hills involved. There are several stiles on the walk, please also keep dogs on a lead in fields where there are livestock.
Waypoints have additionally been marked to assist you get to the first stage of the Multi-Cache, please use these to guide you there if needed.
Due to the land between Evanescence 01 and 02 being SSSI - it was not possible to place a cache along here - it was refused - this is why there is a large gap.
Additional waypoints after this are for guidance only and should only be used if required, they are here only if you need additional directions.
Can you solve the puzzle along the way and find the cache at the end?
The coordinates above are for stage 1 - follow waypoints to reach the start location.
You will find the cache, if you can solve the puzzle, here :-
N 51 (1B)(3S).(2S)(4S+4B)(1S-2S)
E 000 (1B+3S)(3S+3S).(3B)(2B-(2S+4B))(4B).
Please also ensure cache is well hidden and camouflaged afterwards.
