A fairly straightforward puzzle cache that requires some careful, precise calculations (assuming perfect conditions), but no specialist knowledge. Easier puzzle than 2 Hans no.1, but a trickier hide. And, of course, the cache is not at the published location (which is that of a great pub).
We thought we'd share another geocaching story we'd heard locally. Two cousins were each called Hans. In reference to their size they were distinguished by being called Big Hans and Little Hans. Little Hans could walk only slowly on his short legs, whilst Big Hans was an established sprinter who could run 12-times as fast as Little Hans's slow crawl. They were inseparable and, when they took up geocaching, they naturally always went out together. One day they had a fierce argument about the location of a cache and neither of them would budge. They agreed on the Northing (N51 10.796) but could not agree on the Westing.
However, a geocaching spirit heard their fight and "came among them" to resolve it. She took the cousins to a perfectly flat area and positioned them precisely, and at four in the afternoon told them to get moving as fast as they could.
The cousins were certain the spirit was mistaken but, sure enough, when the cousins next met, the spirit materialised directly over the spot. With the spirit hovering above them, Hans and Hans each listened intently as she said "now you have had enough time to resolve your dispute!" And, as suddenly as she had appeared, the spirit disappeared.
