Minsterley's Maidens Mystery is solved!

Well perhaps not solved but found anyway. This geocache Maidens Mystery GC10EZ0 has driven us mad for months and we at long last found it on Sunday. It is a 2 part puzzle clue and we found the first part quite easily - it was a note pinned up on the church notice board, from this we gathered it was the capital letters and phone number - but there were 8 capitals and 6 numbers and we could not fathom out how to make 8 into 6. We have tried every combination and walked around the area looking in trees (found a dead bird!) under bridges, under rocks, had to get close to cattle again. So after another failed exploration on Sunday we changed tack and set our GPS's to satellite and walked until we arrived at a cordinate that used the same numbers - low and behold we found it.

Sorry about the rubbish photo - no where really to set the tripod.

We also did another geocache - Leaves on the Line GC10V66 on Sunday, which was much easier. This took us to our 50th cache.
