Geocache Description:

Tree cover is a bit of a hindrance, so GPS accuracy will be about 15ft on an etrex 20. UPDATE: Changed cache name from Devon Church Micro Challenge, as some were confused as to why it isn't a challenge cache.

The cache is a small tube, about 4 inches long. It is hidden near an old church.

It does contain a pen, please do not take the pen away, as it is there so people can do something that if they don't do, will deprive them of the smiley. It also contains an assortment of little bits and bobs.

It is very important you replace it EXACTLY AS YOU FOUND IT, so it is out of sight, but don't push it back too far.

If you need extra help, e-mail me via my profile.
The cache is at N50 AB CDE W003 FG HJK
PLEASE DO NOT POST SPOILERS OF THE LOCATION, INCLUDING PHOTOS.
PLEASE ALSO DO NOT ENTER THE FIELDS SOUTH OF THE CACHE, AS YOU WILL NEED TO PAY.

Thanks to the National Trust for granting permission to place the cache.
