Geocache Description:

To locate this cache you will need to solve the rhymes below - which come from a modern version of an old well known fairy tale.

  • The cache container is something you will find in the handbag of most modern women, and also features in this fairy tale (and a few others too). If you are a bloke, don't despair, even the sole male in the Hot PJ team identified the fairy tale ahead of his two preteen daughters!
  • Both authors, of the original fairy story and the modern rhyme, have had their books banned at some stage, never the less both are well known and popular story tellers.
  • The cache is located within 400 metres from the listed co-ordinates. You'll need to take a pen, no space for swaps. Please replace carefully, being sure to hide from view.
  • A cache originally brought us here which has since gone but we felt it a worthy location for a replacement.
  • Use the clues above to help you locate the rhyme and the cache. You can find what you are looking for on the web, using a search engine and some lateral thinking.

repeat her sad absurd routine?
