Geocache Description:

The Church
The Church of Christ the Cornerstone was the first large ecumenical church in a town centre in the United Kingdom. It serves office workers and the small but growing population of the Central Milton Keynes district.

It is located at the top of the hill adjacent to the main shopping centre and for a long time was the tallest building in Central Milton Keynes, although it is now somewhat lost among the newer, taller structures.

Ground was first broken for the church in May 1990 and the first service was completed in December 1991.

The Cache
At the Start waypoint you will be standing at one entrance to the church. Locate the granite panel on the post listing the five organizations that form the ecumenical partnership. Look ONLY at the 5 lines containing the names of the organizations - ignore the other wording (with the name of the church) on the panel.
A = How many times does the word "Church" appear ?
B = How many words are there on the second line ?
C = Count the number of letters in each word. Which number occurs the most often ?
D = How many letters are there in the first word on the top line ?
E = How many words are there which have 4 letters or fewer ?
F = How many words in total are there on the bottom 3 lines ?

The cache can be found at N 52 02.ABC W 000 45.DEF

You are looking for a 50ml screw-top tub. There is no room for swaps or trackables.

The Rules
The church is surrounded by parking which enjoys Milton Keynes' bewildering array of colour coded parking tariffs. Please park according to the rules. However, if you are only here to do the cache then 30 minutes should be plenty.

If you are arriving by train the church is about half a mile uphill walk from the Central Railway Station. For bus travellers a large number of buses into the central area have drop-offs on Midsummer Boulevard or Avebury Boulevard, which run either side of the church.

The start point of the cache is in a very open public area but you won't look suspicious here. The cache itself is in a more secluded spot. It is overlooked by a couple of office blocks but you should be fine. There are bench seats nearby that help in creating a distraction.
