Easy free parking is available very near the above co-ordinates
To find the final location you need to visit the church of
St.Mary Magdelene near Exford at the above co-ordinates. At the
main gate you will find the gravestone of Amos Cann
Amos died when walking from Exford to Porlock during a severe
blizzard in March 1891, his body was not found for three weeks.
The inscription on the gravestone reads.
You that are young behold and see
How quickly death has conquered me
Its fatal stroke it was too strong
It cut me off while I was young
The God above he knows for why
That in my youth I was to die
On the gravestone are the month year and age when he died.
The final co-ordinates for the cache are N 51°08.A06 W 003°38.0B5
Where A = The first digit of
his age and B = The last digit
of his age.
The walk to the cache from here should take no more than 10
minutes on public footpaths.
The cache is a standard "Hornet" ammo box which contains lots of
goodies and of course a Gecko.
The cache is VERY near a footpath, and although very
quiet if you think you have been discovered looking for it please
feel free to re-locate it and let us know. We can then alter the
co-ordinates and have fun finding it!!
Have fun.
