Geocache Description:

Alice in wonderland

• Please see notes at end of listing...

and so the journey begins...
Alice ambled down the lovely long lane, heading towards the sea but rather than follow its curve to the left, she wandered just off the path to the right where she immediately spotted her sister, lying on the ground between the large twin trees overlooking the path below.

Alice hesitated, her sister wasn't known for her charm, especially when she was reading one of her favourite books, which Alice soon noticed she was; Not one to be easily deterred Alice leant casually on the corner fence post, took a deep breath and called out.

"Hello" said Alice
"What are you doing here?!" her sister snapped back. Before Alice had a chance to answer; her sister quickly jumped to her feet, pushed past Alice and stomped off up the path that Alice herself has just walked down.

As Alice watched her march off, she noticed that her sisters hands were empty... "that's odd" she thought, "where is the book she was just reading? and where are the marbles and other trinkets, Alice noted had been on the ground beside her?"

Alice headed to where her sister had been lying just moments before and when she was standing between to two great trees, started to look around... "where oh where could those treasures be?" she whispered quietly to herself...

In Alice's World...
When she was small she was 10” small

When she was tall she had 9 feet to fall

Rabbits hop twice every second, 1 meter each time
(being close to the footpath they're easy to find.)

Feet were used for travelling (not as a unit of measure)

A meter was 2 foot and 2 foot was a skip

Sometimes a beam of light could bring things into sight
