Geocache Description:


Please ensure that the flush bracket number is not visible in any photos.

The cache is NOT at the posted co ordinates.

Stage 1: Use your OL28 1:25000 map

You are not at the Henlake Down trig point (it's a bit dull though the views aren't bad). You decide to start from Butterdon Hill trig instead. Following a stone row north you are lead to an abandoned tramway and stay on it until it forks; you take the right fork and follow it to the peak of the hill. A stone row runs over the hill so you follow it north for approximately 2.5km until it crosses another dismantled tramway. To the east there is a large cairn; you decide to climb it. Which OS grid square are you now in? Grid = ABCD

Stage 2: Visit the trig point and obtain the four digit number from the base plate. Trig No = EFGH

The cache can be found at:

N 50 (D-E) (A-E) . (C+E) (B-D) (E+G)
W 003 (D+H) (E+G) . D (B+E) (C-E)
