Geocache Description:

The coordinates above do not take you to the cache, just a suggested parking place that is sometimes available. Be aware that parking is very limited here, especially if you do not arrive early. Please do not attempt this cache unless you have appropriate shoes, clothing and provisions - it involves a fairly long uphill hike. Also, do not attempt this cache unless the weather conditions are appropriate.

The Clangers were a group of small, pink, knitted creatures who lived on a moon-like planet on TV when the older Davieses were much younger (see www.bbc.co.uk/cult/classic/clangers/ for more information). We have managed to extract some Clanger DNA (although no Clanger was hurt during the making of this cache) and the sequence is presented below. Analysis of this sequence should take you to the cache.

One final note. We are considering a "part II" for this cache. Please make a note of the number written on the bottom of the cache box - it will be essential information should we place the second part! Good luck.
