Geocache Description:

You can park in the nearby pub/golf club, or walk here from four different directions. It's intended as part of the larger Mythplaced series, along the canal towpath.

South of here look for a waypoint of the bonus (unless you have done the alternative waypoint 1)



Púca

The celtic imps play tricks but are generally quite harmless, for example pushing signposts over to confuse travelers. They take various natural shapes, so if you see any wildlife around here, it could easily be the cache's guardian púca - we used to have one called 'Robin Goodefellow' for some 'fathomless' reason, but he's wandered off, so we found a replacement called 'Eiveigh'. Púca have a special day - November 1st - so if you are here on that day please do be civil and say 'thank you' for Eiveigh allowing you to find her cache.




We púca are - t'is said - mischievous t'ings,
We love to play tricks and we sings and we sings!
T'were not me who came here and pushed this post down…
But if ye' find me please smile - come now, don't frown :-)

Mythplaced

This is a 13km (8 mile) loop, mostly in countryside, which can be walked in any order or direction. The series 'bonus' cache is actually a 6-stage multicache interspersed between the series caches, which you can collect on your way round or separately. Walking Notes are in the Series multicache GC3BHE6

There are plenty of options for parking - look near to 'Dragon', 'Ghouls', 'Pegasus' or 'Grææ'.
