Geocache Description:

A small cache relatively near to parking in Tittensor. Watch the terrain here - it's a tiny bit off the path, and mind young or unstable people near the water.


Eurydice

Dryads are tree spirits - nymphs of the forests. Eurydice was an oak spirit that married the musician Orpheus and the loved each other dearly. But one day she trod on a snake and died. Orpheus was so upset he started singing such sad songs that the Gods took pity and told him to walk to the underworld and retrieve Eurydice - he had to walk ahead of her out of Hades and not look back, trusting that the gods would allow her to follow. He didn't trust the Gods, looked back, and she disappeared back to Hades forever. Not to worry - later on in life he upset Dionysus, who had him killed and so they were re-united. Nice happy ended there then.
Watch out for the dryads round here - they play tricks on you. Some turn unwary cachers into pillars of brick.


Come down to me here, I'm lying quite low
Please have no fear: I'm lovely, you know
I've got plenty to share, let me dance for your eyes
My cache is here somewhere, can you see where it lies?

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'.
