The Cache
At the church once you have parked and parking at the rear of the church off of the main road is suggested.
You are looking for ABCD Private W.Gilbourne who died EF July EGEF.
The grave stands out as it is the only war grave i could see here , but stands alone.
So once yo have your figures , its time to do some somes , so convert the letters to numbers so you can find the cache
N52 0B. AEC W001 18. (Cx2) (F+E) (A+C)
The cache is a little walk away from the church , there is parking close to the cache but it depends on the time of day.
Please be aware that the road is very busy and the local shops also see a lot of trade , so cache with Stealth and park with others in mind and look after young cachers , old muggles and Geo hounds
Please not my caches are designed to be found , but if for some reason you can not find a cache i have placed , please log a DNF so i can sort it out as quickly as possible.
Throwdowns are not good and if a cache is replaced because of a throwdown logs will be deleted
All caching days are good days
