Geocache Description:



Stop me if you’ve heard this before… When I first started geocaching I was told that the scene was the greatest show on Earth. But to me it seemed to be one of those mysteries. But when singing in the shower I realised that talent is an asset, and it wasn’t mickey mouse.

It wasn’t long before I started hiding caches myself. There’s some in these woods. You can go alone, or with reinforcements. Bon Voyage, and if you’ve got any complaints, don’t shoot me – I’m goofing off.

So… it ain’t 1918. Sparks up your sat-navs. If you need any tips (for teens) just remember, we are all rock n roll people in a disco world, and this *is* music that you can dance to. You might try praying for a party, but nothing is sacred, and it’s not just pulling rabbits out of a hat.

To make things easy you only have to solve one puzzle for the entire series

Ron’s birthday is AB-CD-AEFG

You will find this cache at North 51 CF.DED East 000 (A+B)G.AF(B+F)

This is the first cache of a series of twenty-three. You will need a map to plan your route from one cache to the next.

You can’t mistake where the paths go – all are at least two yards wide at the narrowest point

NO CACHES ARE AT THE POSTED CO-ORDINATES. DO NOT GO THERE

A little grumble if I may.... since the series went out I've had quite a few comments about how bad the co-ords are. On a maintenance run (16 May 2020) I found the co-ords of my hides were all pretty much spot-on.

However...

Most of the caches had been moved; some up to fifty feet from where I'd put them. PLEASE PUT THE CACHE BACK WHERE YOU FIND IT...

This cache has been placed in accordance with the formal Landowner agreement between Geocaching and the Forestry Commission. As part of that agreement the cache has been placed either on the path, or not more than a step or two off of the path. Please do not go marching through the woods
