Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the published coords. You did not need to visit there. The cache is a 2-stage multi to start off this short series. Please follow the instructions below.

After maintaining the beautiful Hackhurst Hack series of caches, I decided it needed a bit of revision to get more people to try it. Also some of the public rights of way were closed for well over a year. So here is a new start for a lovely circular walk of 5 caches.

First, park near N 51 13.188 W 000 26.856. Find an obvious number, close by. Clue: red.

The digits of this number in order are ABCDEFGHJKM

The cache is at :
N 51 1F.D(C*F)(M+4) W 000 2(4+H).KEB

If you want, you can re-park reasonably close to the above final location of this cache.

The coordinates for the next cache in the series (Hackhurst Hack: Sheep; GC11TPB) are given on a laminated card in the cache box. As the next stage is the longest walk between caches, it is recommended you return into Gomshall village and repark yet again, either in one of the pubs or eateries, or at this convenient spot: N 51 13.097 W 26.624.

After Sheep, the other caches in order are GC11TY6 (HH: View), GC11TYT (HH: Cattle) and GC2FQ55 (HH:End).

There are several of my North Downs Way Mega Series which can be easily done, virtually along the way (assuming you have done the preparation!). You also walk past another of my puzzles (A Cooperative Cache) and Gomshall Sidetracked is near as well.
