This is the 6th cache in the series and can be found near Kirk Christ; the Parish Church of Rushen. This area is a hive of activity on Parish Walk Day as the road network turns into a one way system with walkers having priority. 19.5 miles done, now for the big hill!
The Parish includes the south-western extremity of the island, together with the Calf of Man, and contains an area of about 10 square miles. It stretches round the coast from Strandhall to the precipices west of Cronk ny Arrey Lhaa (Hill of the Day Watch). The principle headlands are Port St Mary Point, Black Head, Spanish Head (350 feet), and Bradda Head (766 feet); and the chief inlets are Port St Mary Bay, Perwick Bay, Bay Stacka, Port Erin Bay, and Fleshwick Bay. The west of the parish is hilly, stretching from Cronk ny Arrey Lhaa (437 metres or approx 1430 feet, the highest point in the parish) along the western coast to Lhiattee ny Beinnee, Bradda Hill, Mull Hill, and the Sound, across which the ridge is continued on the Calf.
This is a small Multi cache with the co-ordinates above taking you to the Lychgate, there you will have to use your observational skills to obtain the co-ords for the final cache which can be found a short walk away.
Final co-ordinates are N 54.05.ABC W 004.44.DEF. Where
A = Number of letters in the last word, fourth line on gravestone.
B = Month Robert Jackson died minus 2.
C = Year R J died 16?7. ? plus 1 will give you C.
D = Number of flag poles you can see.
E = Last digit on Memorial plaque, East side.
