This is the start of a series of letterbox hybrids on the north sea cycle route. http://www.northsea-cycle.com
They are based on the months of year and includes some facts. The container is a small clear lock & lock box. sorry there is only room for 1 or 2 trackables/swaps.
PLEASE make sure the box is secure so water doesn't get in, thanks jim
January
In the Roman calendar, Januarius mensis, the month of Janus the god of gates who looked both backwards and forwards, signifying the gate into the new year. Because this month included the festival of Janus, it later became the first month of the year.
The Old English names for this month were
ætera Geola after Yule, a name used by Christians. Yule was a pagan festival.
Formamonath first-month
Wulfmonath wolf-month, because that's when they roamed in search of food!
PLEASE WEAR YOUR WELLIES, OLD TRAINERS AND SHOES. when it's raining there are lots of large puddles, sometimes 5cm - 8cm deep. best to leave januaris to the end if your doing the series.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FINDING THE SERIES OF CACHES ALONG THIS ROUTE IN THE EVENING AS THERE IS NO STREET LIGHTING AND A BIT REMOTE.
This cache type pays homage to an older form of scavenger hunt. Letterbox hybrids must contain a signature stamp that stays with the box. A letterbox hybrid may have a mystery or puzzle element, but cannot be designed to be found by only using clues. To seek a letterbox hybrid, you will not need your own personal stamp and letterboxing logbook just log your visit as normal in the visitors book as you would do with any other type of cache, thanks.
if you do have a stamp please “sign” the logbook.

Please note that the stamp and ink pad are not swaps
