Geocache Description:

Part of the Mythplaced series, accessible by canal towpath only.



Simple cache, but no parking anywhere near here.


Nomia the Naiad

Daphnis was a son of the Greek god Hermes and loved to play the pan-pipes (his uncle Pan taught him). The Naiad Nomia - a spirit of the water - fell in love with him and they started hanging out, but he liked to 'play away from home' and just was never there for her. Unfortunately for Daphnis, Nomia was a bit of a bunny-boiler, and when her patience ran out she simply turned Daphnis to stone. Keep an eye out for water spirits around here, and guys - a word of advice: If your own girl is a bit 'magical', best to stick by her, OK?



Daphnis didn’t want me,
So I turned him to stone
But surely you will find me
So I won't be alone!


Mythplaced

This is a 13km (8 mile) loop, mostly in countryside, which can be walked in any order or direction. The series 'bonus' cache is actually a 6-stage multicache interspersed between the series caches, which you can collect on your way round or separately. Walking Notes are in the Series multicache GC3BHE6

There are plenty of options for parking - look near to 'Dragon', 'Ghouls', 'Pegasus' or 'Grææ'.
