Easy terrain with parking near to church at N 50°52.071 W 000°51.774. You're looking for a camouflaged micro film canister.
The church of St Mary's in Funtington dates back to the 13th century; by the 16th century the present bell tower, which contained three bells cast in 1897, had been added. There are now 6 ringable bells. The church was extensively renovated and enlarged in 1859. The tower at the west end, the chancel, the small chapels to the southeast and northeast and arcades of three arches on each side of the nave are all that remain of the old building.
To find the cache you have to answer the following questions:
1) At N 50°52.034 W 000°51.802 you will find a window. How many heads can you count? Let this number equal A.
2) At N 50°52.038 W 000°51.816 you will find another window. Write down the first three numbers of the first year mentioned (bear in mind its mirror writing, so read from right to left but write from left to right) and let it be BCD.
3) At N 50°52.023 W 000°51.800 you will find a Nova Scotia Highlander. Let the number of letters in his surname equal E. The last (or first) number of his service number equals F.
4) And finally have a rest at N 50°52.029 W 000°51.815. To whom is this dedicated? Count the letters of her first name and let this number equal G and take the third number of the year she was born and let that number equal H.
The final cache can be found at N FD°FA.DAC and W DDD°FB.GHE
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
