Geocache Description:

This puzzle cache can be found in the Ilston area. It's a small clip lock box with room for small bugs & coins.

I alterered intial co ords for cache as it was clashing on the map with another cache "Discover Ilston" The new co ords take you to a street in Ilston though I recommend parking by parish notice board close to the church.

I love this Church, I've visited it many times over the years and once again to do the discover Ilston cache. This inspired me to place a cache using a funny message on a gravestone which I was shown during a school trip at the nearby Parkmill centre when I was about 12 years old. The message is still getting pointed out to this day as you'll see on your visit.
The "Sacred" waypoint co ords will take you to grave.
The Cache I'd like to point out now is not at the grave or in the churchyard, but on a public footpath near to it.
Ok the message your looking for is;
Remember friend as you pass by As you are now so once was I As I am now so you will be So prepare in time to follow me
I think the message is great. Now look closer and you'll find the name of the persons wife, who is also buried there. You need this to work out the puzzle.
