Geocache Description:

This cache commemorates the efforts of early Catholic missionaries in the Canterbury area. It is a three stage multi-cache.

The co-ordinates given will take you to the first stage of the cache where you will need to find the co-ordinates for the second stage. Please take care at this waypoint as it is at the side of a relatively busy road. The next way point and cache are in the same location 21ks away from the first location. However this is a beautiful rural drive and there are several other caches located along the way.

At the second stage, answer the following questions:

The number of letters in the surname of the main person referred to on the monument = A
The day of the month in which he was born = B
The sum of the numbers in the year he was born, minus 11 = C
The third number of the year he died = D
The third number of the year in which the second person referred to on the monument died = E
F= A-E
G=A+E
H=G-F
I=A-H

The cache is located at:
S43 CF.DGH E172 EI.EIE

When hidden it contained a stirling silver and onyx ring, a beaded anklet, a small bottle of conditioning shampoo, a small bottle of bath and shower gel, a bag sealer, a squash ball and a logbook, pencil, eraser and sharpener.
