The above coordinates take you to a small Nano at GZ.
To log this find as the cache owner intended, please upload your Phoon Photos (BUT NOT COMPULSORY FOR A SMILEY).
The phoon photo must include the nearby statue of the Ram, taken from in front of the statue (see gallery for examples).
The Derby Ram was Sculptored by Michael Pegler & gifted to the people of Derby by Richardson Cordwell 15th March 1995
PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR
MUGGLES AT GZ IT IS VERY BUSY. THANKS.
You will require a partner (or passing muggle) to take the picture. As one takes the picture, the other poses and then vice versa.
Rules for the Phoon pose:
- Stand sideways to the camera. (A Phoon is always viewed from the side.)
- Bend your arms at the elbows. (Look like an athletic runner, not a ballerina.)
- Lift your rear elbow (not your hand) so that it is easy to see behind your back.
- Lean forward at the waist. This will help you look more energetic and will help you lift your rear ankle.
- Bend at the knee, the leg you're standing on.
- When possible, do not look at the camera and do not smile.
- Either arm can be the rear arm.
- Either leg can be the rear leg.
- And don't tip over!
You may pheel a little phoolish, but just go out and have some phoon!
Have Fun at the Derby's first Phoon cache. If you would like your phoon photo to appear on the cache page, let me know in your log.
The Derby Ram
Traditional English (Derbyshire), but this version from America.
As I was going to Derby,
Upon a market day,
I saw the biggest ram, sir,
That was ever fed with hay,
That was ever fed with hay.
The ram was fat behind, sir,
The ram was fat before,
He measured ten yards round, sir,
I think it was no more,
I think it was no more.
The wool grew on his back, sir,
It reached to the sky,
And there the eagles built their nests,
I heard the young ones cry,
I heard the young ones cry.
The wool grew on his belly, sir,
And reached to the ground,
'Twas sold in Derby town, sir,
For forty thousand pounds,
For forty thousand pounds.
The wool upon his tail, sir,
Filled more than fifty bags,
You had better keep away, sir,
When that tail shakes and wags,
When that tail shakes and wags.
The horns upon his head, sir,
Were as high as a man could reach,
And there they built a pulpit, sir,
The Quakers for to preach,
The Quakers for to preach.
And he who knocked this ram down,
Was drowned in the blood,
And he that held the dish, sir,
Was carried away by the flood,
Was carried away by the flood.
And all the boys in Derby, sir,
Came begging for his eyes,
To kick about the streets, sir,
As any good football flies,
As any good football flies.
The mutton that the ram made,
Gave the whole army meat,
And what was left, I'm told, sir,
Was served out to the fleet,
Was served out to the fleet.
Oh, as I was going to Derby,
Upon a market day,
I saw the biggest ram, sir,
That was ever fed with hay,
That was ever fed with hay.
