Parking
There is limited parking on the road for up to one hour during the day (excluding Sundays) or the cache is a short walk from any of Ringwood's car parks.
The Church
The Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart & St Therese of Lisieux is the parish Catholic church for Ringwood and is in the Diocese of Portsmouth.
The Sacred Heart refers to the heart of Jesus which is regarded as an object of devotion by Roman Catholics.
St. Therese of Lisieux was a French nun who is one of the most popular saints in the Catholic church. She was devoted to Christ her whole life and died in 1887 aged just 24 years due to tuberculosis. She was canonized in 1925 by Pope Pius XI, just 28 years after her death and is the patron saint of aviators, florists, illness and missions.
The Cache
The cache is located a fairly short walk from the church. In order to calculate the co-ordinates, take the final six digits of the telephone number as ABCDEF. The cache can be found at the following:
N50.50.B(A+D+F)(CxE) W001.47.(C-E)(A+D)(A+F)
You are looking for a nano magnetic container. You will need tweezers and your own pen. Some stealth may be required at busy times. If you are planning to do the other nearby Church Micro (GC8BR5Q) you are better off visiting both churches first before heading to the final locations.
