Geocache Description:

A very short multi-cache in terms of distance, hopefully not too brain taxing either!

Based by St Mary's Church - Borwick, this cache was put in place for the occasion of my wedding, but will remain in place perminantly afterwards.

Six virtual clues to find with a phsical cache closeby. Although I have listed coordinates for each stage, an anti-clockwise walk around the building should reveal all the locations without needing to keep checking the phone/GPS.


Stage 1 - The Gate

A small metal gate exists at the left side of the church as you approach. The number of metal spikes on top - 3 = A
