Geocache Description:

This cache is a simple offset multi, which is part of the ever popular Church Micro series started in 2007 by sad exploration. You do not need to enter the church to complete this cache, there is parking nearby in the nearby supermarket which you have to pay for or there is free parking for a maximum of two hours in the residential streets nearby. This multi is completely accessible for wheelchair users and buggies/strollers.


St Faiths Church is one of the two daughter churches in St Marys Parish. It is located next to Landport Community Centre, not far from the shopping centre in Commercial Road, at the end of Crasswell Street where the road turns a corner into Charles Street. It is easily recognised by its small minaret-style bell tower, and its curved glass entrance right on the street. The church was built on this site in 1956/7 after a previous St Faiths was damaged beyond repair by wartime bombing. In 2005/6 a building project re-ordered the church, creating a very up-to-date building

Now for the cache...

At the given coordinates you will find a foundation stone, detailing how the church was built to replace two churches that were destroyed during the second world war. All you need to do is to count the number of letters in each word asked for below, and substitute for the final coordinates:

A= First word of 1st line minus last word of 5th line

B= Last word of 4th line minus fourth word of 1st line

C= First word of 3rd line plus second word of 4th line

D= First word of 5th line plus third word of 2nd line

E= Third word of 4th line minus third word of 3rd line

F= Last word of the 3rd line minus first word of 3rd line

 

You will find the cache at N50 48.ABC W001 04.DEF

Checksum for all fifteen digits is 43. The cache is a small magnetic micro, please be stealthy when retrieving and replacing the cache! Good luck and happy hunting!
