There is a commonly held belief that
being so close to London, the flora and fauna of Epping Forest has
been well researched and documented. Some of us who live close to
the forest know better.........
At the end of last year, I left three bins bags outside our
house full of things I thought would be of interest to a Bigfoot.
Early the following morning, the bags had gone! Ali is a sceptic
and seems to think it was the dustmen. I, however, believe
otherwise.
On a recent cycle ride, I came face to face with a Bigfoot on a
path causing me to lose the race with Ali to the top of Crown Hill.
To this day, she seems to think that I made it up because she beat
me. (But can I also just take this opportunity to remind her that I
was recovering from a fractured elbow and I will happily beat her
easily once I'm totally recovered!)
The Epping Forest Bigfoot are basically the same as the American
ones, but a lot slimmer in build. Their vocal chords are smaller so
they are less noisy. They also have smaller heads, but this does
not appear to correspond with the size of the brain though, as the
Epping Bigfoot have been found to be far more clever than their
cousins across the Atlantic.
Today, you are looking for a cache that is a real genuine
original replica limited edition reproduction Bigfoot poo,
purchased from Chuck's Bigfoot Emporium in Oregon, USA. I hollowed
it out of course for the log book. It was a dirty job, but for the
love of caching, some of us are willing to go that bit further.
It's similar to the real one shown below.......but not so
round......and definately not as smelly.
Safety Issues
Can I just take this opportunity to ask the following; when was
the last time you saw a Bigfoot on a motorway? Exactly. Hardly
ever! Needless to say, you cannot get to this cache by stopping in
the middle of the M25.
If you see what you think is a Bigfoot, don't worry. There's
never been a substantiated record of a Bigfoot attack on a healthy
adult anywhere in the UK. The widely reported one that you may have
seen turned out to be a hoax - made up by journalists (nothing new
there then!).........well I'm pretty sure it turned out to be a
hoax.
Directions
From the suggested parking spot, take the footpath between the
two gate houses (the small gate on the left hand side of the large
white gate is always open.) After 20 yards, take the footpath on
the left. The coords will take you to the middle of something put
in place by the builders of the M25 to assist Deer and Bigfoot
getting from one side of the motorway to the other. The cache is
not hidden in here - but within 30 feet of it's Northern-most
exit.
If you don't return, can I direct your loved ones (and their
lawyers) to the small print on the cache page that says, 'Cache
seekers assume all risks involved in seeking a cache'.
For fear of ridicule, I'll say no more other than, suggested
parking is at N51° 41.071', E000° 04.070'.
If you try to park anywhere North of the cache, the residents
will pretend that they are very posh and important, by informing
you that all the roads are very private. It's obvious to me though
that no one could be that petty and they are clearly trying to
protect the Bigfoot living in their midst.
AS WITH ALL THE OTHER CACHES IN THIS
SERIES, YOU DO NOT NEED TO TRAMPLE ANY VEGETATION, DISTURB ANY
WILDLIFE OR BE RIPPED FROM LIMB TO LIMB TO FIND IT.
A TORCH MAY BE OF USE.
So far all cachers have
returned safely.....
