Geocache Description:


If you Wiki the word 'muggle' most of the page explains how J.K.Rowling 'invented' the word to describe someone of non-magical powers in her Harry Potter series of publications.

J. K. Rowling doesn't even come close to being the inventor of the word 'muggle!'

Wiki also has a reference to the word's later use, by us, the geocachers, but does not have one reference to the following...

It was the man behind the location of this cache that first used the word 'muggle' in 'The Pickwick Papers' as a reference to the people of Maidstone (Muggleton). He also uses the word in 'David Copperfield'.

This is why I wanted to place a cache here, in honour of the true creator of the word we use so much doing what we do.
This should be a relatively easy find, depending on the volume of - yes, you got it - Muggles!

Please bring a pen/pencil, and dont waste your money on this venue - it will only bring you sheer 'boredom' (incidentally another word of his origin!)
