Secret treasures nearby

Today we went on a very quick expedition to find some secret treasures in the Ashdown Forest. We had to make it back in time to watch the kick-off for the first rugby game of the Six Nations tournament. It was a cold but beautiful day. We punched in 3 sets of coordinates and decoded the clues for some geocaches in the area.
Setting out on our expotition
We thought the silver birch in the middle of the heath was the tree we were looking for, but it wasn't
We never did find the first treasure, but we found the 2nd and 3rd treasures.
 After finding 2 of the 3 treasures, we headed for home and got back just in time for the kickoff. Phew! Too bad Wales lost in the end, but at least we were there to see it.

PS. Happy Groundhogs Day, everyone! I guess Punxatawny Phil thinks the winter is soon over. Hope he is right. A bit more sunshine would sure be nice...
