Geocache Description:


This cache is a short, offset multi based on information that can be found at St Peter's church, Rhoose. On-road parking is available nearby and the final cache is located not far away. You are looking for a 35mm film pot held in place with a magnet.

The current church looks like this: 

The former 'tin tabernacle' church that stood here until the present church was built looked rather different. Mrs look-sharp used to attend Guides in the church hall visible at the back of the church in this picture (the hall was demolished only in 2004).

The original cache page used the impressive stained glass window at the west end of the church. However, the construction of a new entrance in 2021 led to this window being partially obscured when viewed from the outside and the cache page was updated in January 2022. The location of the cache remains unchanged so anyone using the old information will still be able to find the cache.

At the listed coordinates, count the number of large panels making up the stained glass window at the west end of the church. Let this number be A.
Make your way around the south side of the church, via the new path. On your way, count the number of electric lights installed in the wall on your right-hand side. Let this number be B.
At the east end of the church is a second stained glass window with a circular shape.
The number of living creatures depicted in the window = C
The number of small, circular motifs in the window = D
The number of diamond-shaped motifs in the window = E

The cache is located at N51 (A-C)A.(B/2)A(E-B) W003 (A-C)(E-B).(E-C)A(D/2)
