Geocache Description:


Αlpha

A series of caches in no particular order based, roughly on the letters of the Greek alphabet.

I have placed them in and around Milton Keynes. Some involve a little bit of walking, Others are caches and dashes.

There are a variety of shapes and sizes of cache box, hopefully to please most of the cachers, most of the time.

HISTORY

The Greek alphabet is descended from the Phoenician aphabet. It has give rise to many other alphabets in use today.
Other than in use by the Greeks the letters of the Greek alphabet are in use as mathematical and scientific symbols amongst other uses.
Alpha is the first character of the Greek alphabet and is derived from the Phoenician letter "Aleph". Some uses:-

Alpha particles... produced by radiation decay of an atomic nucleus. The alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons bound together.
Alpha male... applied to an individual within a community with the highest rank.
Alpha.. bet... the name given to all the letters used in the English language.
Alpha radiation... is very damaging, close up. So don't go near it.

The cache is a small clip lock box. Please replace as found.
