Photo-cache No.1 - RUDE LADY (Bucks)
Located in the village of Buckland, behind Aston Clinton in
Bucks, is All Saints Church. About nine feet up on an outside wall
is a very rude lady. She is a 'Sheela Na Gig', an ancient 'highly
female' figure linked to pagan fertility rights. Why she's here, I
couldn't say, but she's the naughtiest lady I've seen in a
churchyard in many a year.
For more information, have a look at
The Sheela Na Gig Project. It's a very
useful site, but don't think you can just 'pinch' a picture from
this page to claim a visit. To log this cache you need only
to find the physical cache and sign the log. However, I'd
appreciate a photograph of The Lady posted with your log. If
you can, please try to get yourself in the picture with your
GPS. Reenacting her pose is NOT required or recommended. :-D
Discretion should be shown on Sundays, obviously, and I suspect
it wouldn't make an ideal night-caching location, unless your
camera has a great flash! (F-narr)

To find the physical cache from here, locate the grave of a dead
(Peter) Parrott, which is near The Lady. He died on ABth August
18CD, aged EF years.

To reach the physical cache (a small white tin which originally
contained a pen, logbook, candle, one Jordanian Dinar and a flyer
for West Wycombe Caves) you will need to use the footpath provided.
Don't worry, you'll not have to walk very far.
