This is a continuation of the series that Dorsetgal started in
Dorset (GC1K6MX), after hearing about it how it got established in
the US on the Podcacher Podcast, and which FantasticCat has
continued in Greater London (GC1N994). Maybe in time it will become
established nationwide.
Guidelines for this series are below:
1. FTF'er should place the next cache in the series (in this case,
The Curse of the FTF # 6) within 1 month...
Otherwise the curse will prevent you from ever getting another FTF
again!!! Muhahahahahahahaha!
2. You can only be a FTF for this series once. This spreads the FTF
love around, and gives others a chance to play along.
3. Cache can be any type of cache (Puzzle, Multi, etc.), but it
should be set within the county of Surrey.
4. You must include this set of guidelines in your listing for the
series.
By way of clarification, there is no requirement besides the
standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this
cache when found. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the
FTF person will play along and place another cache, but it is in no
way a requirement for logging your find.
The Series so far…..

Leigh, lying on the weald below the limestone North Downs, has
had various spellings throughout history: Leye, Ladeghe (12th
Century), Legh, Leygh (14th Century), Ley (16th Century).
Leigh is not mentioned in Doomsday Book, its name describing a
clearing in the woods. It was part of the Earls of Warren estates,
but in the time of Richard I it was given to the Prior and Convent
of St Mary Southwark. After the dissolution of the religious houses
in 1539 Henry VIII granted the manor of Shellwood to Sir Thomas
Nevil for the payment of service: one knight's fee. see www.leigh-surrey.org.uk for
more information.
The cache itself is situated just outside the centre of Leigh.
While you're in the area, you could also look for nearby Church
Micro 3...Leigh (GC178NA).
There is no pen or pencil in this cache so remember to take one
with you.
