Divide the View is a two site cache - you need to go to the first
place to get the co-ordinates for the main cache. We did this so
that you could enjoy the fantastic views over the River Severn.
It's a lovely spot for a picnic and you can see the site of our
first cache, Tyndale's Stump. On a clear day you can see the
Malvern Hills as well.
Park at grid reference 0379425 0201200.

Once you've solved the clues, go to the Woodchester Park carpark
@
51°N42.666 02°17.550 to park (it costs £1.50).
Look in the 'birdbox without a hole' to get a clue about where
to go. You might feel a little blue if you choose the wrong walk
through the woods!
Once you've found the cache you could spend a long time here as
there is a lot to see. One of the lakes in the park has WWII
American tanks in the bottom of it! See if you can find the herd of
Tamworth pigs.
For more information go to
this web site. As the
tree cover might prove a little problematical the final reference
is actually in a clearing where there's a very good view down over
the park and our GPS worked fine. When you are standing at the
final reference point the cache is hidden at the foot of the tree
that divides the view.The container is a Tupperware Box wrapped in
a black bag.
