Geocache Description:

A cache with something for children of all sizes and ages; It is based on Chapter VI, of “House At Pooh Corner”, by A.A. Milne, In which Pooh invents a new game and Eeyore joins in.


The first thing you will need to do before attempting this cache is to read, or better still have someone read you, the appropriate chapter of “House at Pooh corner”. Once you have read the story you will be able to start the cache.

 

 

 

Now that you have read the book and understand the game , you will need to find an appropriate bridge, with a nearby supply of sticks and stones (just in case someone should get “boffed” into the water). The co-ordinates listed above will take you to a bridge that Biggles Bear found, which was quite good to play “Pooh Sticks” on. When you log your find be sure to report the co-ordinates of the bridge that you found to play “Pooh Sticks” on.

 

When you log your find you will have to rate your “Pooh Stick” skill from the following criteria;

 

Piglet or Roo

I had to lie on my tummy so I could drop my sticks in the water

Pooh Bear or Rabbit

I was able to look over the second rail to drop my sticks in the water.

Christopher Robin

I stood on the second rail and could look over the top rail to drop my sticks in the water.

Eeyore

I was minding my own business when I was bounced and fell in the water.

Tigger

I sort of boffed, and Eeyore fell in the water.


Once you have found a bridge and played "Pooh Sticks" proceed to S 37° 47.161’ E 145° 00.909’ here you will find the cache (a 2 litere sistema clip top container), unfortunatley you are not allowed to play "Pooh Sticks" from the nearby bridge, but you may be able to spot where the cache is hidden.

The cache contains all manner of treasure, a log book, but no pen.
