My copy of the Spindler chart is not particularly clear but I think it the U-boat responsible for laying this field was UC-50. The chart is in Band 4, Stizze 3 and it portrays minefield 41 laid to the East of the Farne Islands. As far as I can tell it is the nearest field to the wreck position of G7. I do not have the precise location as the divers will not reveal it but I suspect it is close to:
55°39,829N LON: 1°20,394W Which makes it well East of the War Channel and on the merchant route between Longstone Lighthouse on the Farne Islands and Lista Lighthouse in Southern Norway - the route used by Blyth submarines heading for the Skaggerak.
