Geocache Description:


The League of Extraordinary Cachers

Formed in 2015, the League of Extraordinary Cachers (LEC) are a group of enthusiastic geocachers, who want to enjoy shared geocaching adventures, meet as many geocachers as possible to chat, swap stories, trackables and encourage geocaching, whilst having lots of fun. We champion the use of digital technology to promote geocaching worldwide, which we’ve done with great success!

It is the season
For the first in the "League of Extraordinary Carols"!
Below is a rewording of an old Latin written Christmas Carol
Re-written to suit the mystery of the season
It contains many ways to reveal the containers location

O Come all ye cachers

O come all ye faithful
Search, then triumphant
O come ye, O come ye to Salfords
Come and find them
Puzzles, the King of Caches!
O come let us sign them
O come let us sign them
O come let us sign them
Rolled up Logs

Sign, scores of papers
Sign in exultation
Sign, all ye cachers of earth about
Conquer all
Conquer the highest
O come let us sign them
O come let us sign them
O come let us sign them
Pieces of Paper

Yes, we, hide them,
That you may find them
Ooh, to the FTF glory given
New Street Lane,
Near St Georges appearing
O come let us sign them
O come let us sign them
O come let us sign them
After the opening

It is a single pole,
That you will need help
Not by the green grass
Parking near bye,
North us roaming animal
O come let us sign them
O come let us sign them
O come let us sign them
Signal the Icon

Sung to the tune of "Adeste Fidelis"

History about the Origin of the words

O Come, All Ye Faithful was written by Englishman John Francis Wade in the 1740s.
Wade composed the music and also wrote the original text in Latin, with the title Adeste Fidelis.
For many years the song was thought to be an anonymously composed ancient Latin carol, but research showed that it was written by Wade, who taught music at the Roman Catholic center in Douay, France.
The English translation that is most commonly used was written by Reverend Francis Oakeley in 1841.
