Geocache Description:

GC334N2 Obviously Not

These may be done individually or together in a circular 3.20mile/5.15km walk including 665ft/203m of climbing. It should take about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to complete including searching time.

Try Googling “Lucky Number Seven or 7” before or afterwards and you will come up with some really interesting facts and figures.

I’ve tried to make the series as diverse as possible in terms of ease of finding, novelty value, interest and ability to exchange swaps and TBs. I welcome any constructive comments so I can improve in future.

Whenever you have completed all seven of the above caches, you may copy and paste the following code, to add a little memento of this series, into your profile page;

Who Let The Dogs Out?

Written originally for the 1998 Trinidad and Tobago carnival by Anslem Douglas, this song was made famous or infamous by the Baha Men and thereafter irritated a lot of people worldwide.

The Baha Men placed it in the movie Rugrats in Paris: The Movie and on its soundtrack album and then released it as a single in 2000, when it became the band's first hit in the US and the UK. It reached #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and #2 on the UK Singles Chart in the United Kingdom. It was the 4th biggest-selling single of 2000 in the UK, and went on to become the highest-selling single of the 2000s not to reach #1. It was also a big hit in Australia, where it reached #1. The track went on to win the Grammy for Best Dance Recording on the 2001 Grammy Awards. In a poll conducted in 2007 by Rolling Stone to identify the 20 most annoying songs, this song was ranked third. It was also ranked first on Spinner's 2008 list of "Top 20 Worst Songs Ever". Most recently, in 2010, Matthew Wilkening of AOL Radio ranked the song at #2 on the list of the 100 Worst Songs Ever. The Anslem Douglas version was played throughout the English-speaking Caribbean and in cities with large Caribbean populations in 1998. After the Baha Men re-released the song, it became a ubiquitous sports anthem at stadiums and arenas throughout the world.

As I jogged past this location recently, it in turn jogged my memory and prompted me to create this micro cache which I hope you will all enjoy finding. Since then I’ve been singing the song constantly and annoying myself.

The cache contains a log only, so bring your own pen/pencil, sandwiches and a flask. Only joking; it shouldn’t take that long!

Please replace things as you found them thanks. Have fun!
