Hospital Egress, Ask Mr Barnum [Wales] Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Brenin Tegeingl: Time for a name reveal explanation! The famous Barnum, had a Freak Show, where you could spend as long as you liked inside, having paid your entrance fee.

One day, he visited the Show, only to find families, sat outside having picnics. When he asked why? the answer was "we're waiting to get in". On going and speaking to the Doorman, Mr Barnum, found that, no one was leaving. When he asked visitors, why they were not leaving, the reply was "we've paid our money, so were getting our moneys worth out of it".

Now Mr Barnum, being the crafty entrepreneur, hired a Carpenter, to put in a new door, at the back of the Exhibition. With a sign, with a Pointing Hand stating "Egress", the visitors, not being highly literate, belived that the sign, pointed to a new exibit, so went through the door. Only to find themselves outside. And if they wished to get back inside, they would have to pay another entry fee.

Ill health forces me to say, "it is time for this cache, to make its Egress.

Geocache Description:

Please keep any hint or description of the location out of your log, or it will be deleted. And you will be asked to resubmit the find.This cache is so small you need to bring a sharp pencil.

A small container which is located outside of the Grounds of Glan Clwyd Hospital [the hospital has a no smoking policy in on on their grounds and the cache is located past the staffs smokers corner]

The cache is located at a feature that has intrigued me for years. I have to visit the hospital on virtual a weekly basis, and I am still surprised at the No's who work in the hospital. Who are not even aware of this.

I would be grateful for any information which can be backed up, about what your visiting. As I've been unable to find out why it is here.

The cache name will become obvious, once your at the location. Or it should [if it doesn't, give me a shout and I'll explain] .

Terrain is set at 1.5 as it is located on a grass area, and I cant be certain that it will remain firm after a heavy rain
