Geocache Description:


This is the third of a series of Troll Cache's across Lancashire.

The word 'troll' is the root for many words in the realm of magic and the supernatural in the Scandinavian languages. To practice magic is trolla in Swedish and trolsk is a Norwegian word describing something magical and eerie.

Humans and trolls often come into conflict because trolls are territorial and claim an area around the entrance to their homes, because they like to take valuables and because they often possess caches of great riches, not only in gold and silver, but also in magic objects.

Trolls are seldom intelligent and often downright stupid. Although they can smell an uninvited visitor, a clever human can always fool them by telling a tale of far off lands and places.

Trolls and their caches may live anywhere but rarely close to humans. Some Trolls live under bridges according to Billy Goats Gruff, but you can find Trolls living in forests, caves, gardens and backyards.

To see any Trolls, it helps to have your Fairytale Eyes and Ears open….

This mischievous troll 'Seve Trollesteros', lives close to the 'Land of 18 Holes'. If you're a golfer, you may from time to time hit a ball just off the fairway and wonder why you can never find it again, or when you tee off, look down and wonder where that tee went? The answer is more than likely into the cache of a golf troll like Seve whom loves more than anything else in Trolldom to collect all things golf. Go visit him and see whether he will trade you any treasures....

Note: this cache is not on the golf course itself. Be careful and courteous if approaching on the footpath from Shevington when using the FP through the course.

Please re-hide carefully (we've had a few losses of this one)
