Geocache Description:

Small ammo box with logbook, pen, poem, Scottish accessory (please do not remove from the cache) and a few small swops.


This cache is dedicated to Mr Incatog's favourite poem, The Bloody Orkneys by Captain Hamish Blair.

Why not take the time to read the poem stored within the cache container and to get in the spirit we have added the appropriate accessory in the cache. Photos would be great to see uploaded!

The log book contains a number which you will need to make a note of as you will need it for the Bonus cache, "The Greek Key" nearby.

Bloody Orkney
This bloody town's a bloody cuss
No bloody trains, no bloody bus,
And no one cares for bloody us
In bloody Orkney.

The bloody roads are bloody bad,
The bloody folks are bloody mad,
They'd make the brightest bloody sad,
In bloody Orkney.

All bloody clouds, and bloody rains,
No bloody kerbs, no bloody drains,
The Council's got no bloody brains,
In bloody Orkney.

Everything's so bloody dear,
A bloody bob, for bloody beer,
And is it good? - no bloody fear,
In bloody Orkney.

The bloody 'flicks' are bloody old,
The bloody seats are bloody cold,
You can't get in for bloody gold
In bloody Orkney.

The bloody dances make you smile,
The bloody band is bloody vile,
It only cramps your bloody style,
In bloody Orkney.

No bloody sport, no bloody games,
No bloody fun, the bloody dames
Won't even give their bloody names
In bloody Orkney.

Best bloody place is bloody bed,
With bloody ice on bloody head,
You might as well be bloody dead,
In bloody Orkney
