Geocache Description:

Not accessible directly from the road - you can park next to the nearby Feathers pub, but it's intended to be part of the Mythplaced series, walking along the towpath.

North of here go via the Sidetracked cache, then look for the waypoint of the bonus.



Smaller than a micro - look for parking in Barlaston Village

North of here look for two caches not in the series - the sidetracked and the village cache. Also look for a waypoint for the series multi, which will guide you to the correct footpath.


Rusalka

These are slavic water spirits, and guess what? They generally take the form of enticing young females and they steal away hard-working lads, who then suffer in deep dark ways (drowning, generally). I think we can all see a popular theme with myths here? Anyway, don't be enticed away, keep a-looking for that tiny cache, it's around here somewhere.
Nearby and opposite you can see a boatyard converted to a house - clearly all the workers there have been enticed away to a life of leisure…


Leave the fish and come in, dear: you’ll love it in here
I’ve got pleasure and leisure: leave your old treasure!
Don’t look for that cache, forget that old stash
Give up! Did Not Find! Come here, I'll be kind…

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'.
