Geocache Description:

A quick cache and dash/drive by.

This is a small cache containing log book and pen along with some small swaps.
The cache was placed in honour of my niece Clucks 18th birthday. As I have for many years called her CLUCK and because they have just moved into the country with a bit of land I thought I would take her a cluck of her own for her birthday - this cluck came in the form of two black silkies, a cock and a hen.
The name for the cache came about when I was thinking of putting a lable on the gift box saying "this side up" and it brought to memory the old kids programme "ISSI NOHO"

Issi Noho was created by author Keith Chatfield, and was featured in books and short TV shows in Europe in the mid 1970's. He was found in a crate with the words "THIS SIDE UP, USE NO HOOKS" on the side. However, only "IS SI NO HO" were visible on the crate when he was found, so that's how he got his unusual name. Issi Noho was also able to cast magic, except, he wasn't very good at it and always caused some sort of hilarious problems as a result of his mistakes.
