My addition to the Alphabet Cache series has been placed in a
beautiful dense forest on the outskirts of Silsden. My kids call it
Narnia, and when the multi-coloured fungi are blooming, creatures
scurrying and birds calling you could easily believe it. There are
other caches in the area and a good circular walk can be planned. A
small parking spot can be found at the start of the Bridleway at
N53° 53.535’ W001° 53.786’.
Please take as much care over finding & replacing the cache
as I have in setting it up. Replace the cache in the same spot
along with any geo-stones or other hiding materials... Thanx :D
Any problems feel free to Tweet me...
THE ALPHABET CACHES
This idea, and much of the text, is borrowed (or stolen!) from
the Curse of the FTF series which now has quite a few branches
running around the country. With apologies to the originator.
The Alphabet Caches is a series which requires the FTF cacher to
place the next cache in the series after reading the following
rules.
Caches should be place within a 30-mile radius of Keighley, at
least for the first run through the alphabet.
RULES:
1)The First To Find should place a further Alphabet
Cache beginning with the next letter of the alphabet. The
second
cache will then be called The Alphabet Caches – B, the
third
one The Alphabet Caches – C, etc. Please note only the
FTFer
should place the next cache, not everyone who subsequently
visits.
2)You can be the FTF on this series once only in order to
give
everyone a chance, until everyone who wants a go at FTF has had
a
chance, then it's a Free-For-All!
3)On reaching the letter Z the next cacher will start the
alphabet
again, commencing with The Alphabet Caches – A2. When
we
reach Z100 we might have to think again!
4)All caches should be Traditional caches.
5) All boxes should be of a decent size for swaps –
minimum .75 litre. NO MICROs!
6) Caches placed should contain some “starter” swaps
of
the correct initial letter. As we progress through the alphabet
a
little bit of imagination/licence might be required. Let's see
how
inventive you can be!
7) Only items with the correct initial letter may be
swapped
– Initial A for The Alphabet Caches - A, B for The
Alphabet
Caches - B etc. For instance, you could not put a Crocodile
in
Cache T, but you could leave a Tyrannosaur! It is not essential
to
swap items – normal caching rules apply for this.
8) The Introduction, rules and the history below should be
pasted
into each cache page and new details appended as the series
grows.
>By way of clarification, there is no requirement besides the
standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this
cache when found. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the
FTF person will play along and place another cache, but it is in no
way a requirement for logging your find. But if you don't intend to
carry on the series please DO NOT FTF, rather leave it for someone
else.
Alphabet Cache – A starter swaps:
Anglers' Floats,Austin Allegro, Artificial flowers, Airacobra
glider, Antelope, Air freshener.
Alphabet Cache – B starter swaps:
Balloons, Ball, Bug, Bottle stop, Biro (please don't trade!),
(jelly) Beans for the FTF.
Alphabet Cache – C starter swaps:
Cat, CPU, Coin (Geo), Comb, Coat hanger, Chew (dog), Coffee,
Crocodile, Cards, Clip (paper), Cresent moon, Cash (don't get too
excited), Capacitor, Chocolate for the FTF.
