Geocache Description:

A walk of less than a mile from castle to cache, over stiles and across fields.

The Three Castles Walk is an 18 mile circular walk linking the Norman Castles of Skenfrith, Grosmont and Whitecastle. This Cache is one of three each with its start point at each of the castles and located along the Three Castles Walk footpath. The walk can be completed in one day and if undertaken whilst Geocaching then it is advisable to do the walk in an anti-clockwise direction to avoid backtracking from virtual locations. The footpath is well signposted in either direction. A leaflet may be obtained from local tourist information centres and the route is marked on the Ordinance Survey maps Explorer 189, Outdoor Leisure 13 and Explorer OL14.

Whitecastle is locked overnight which is why the virtual is set outside castle grounds. If the gates are open it is well worth a look around inside as there is still a complete water filled moat.

Parking is available at the co-ordinates above where you must solve this question.
The Three Castles Walk joins up with another long distance walk that starts in Prestatyn, North Wales and finishes in Chepstow which has its sign post here. What is the Welsh translation for this long distance footpath? You should now have 16 letters in a sequence.
Using the keypad on a mobile phone turn this sequence of letters into numbers for example A, B or C = 2

A = 6th number
B = 8th number
C = 3rd number
D = 15th number
E = 11th number
F = 9th number

The main cache is at N51 50.ABC W002 5D.EFA
