The Teumessian Fox
Those Greeks, they loved a good paradox! The Teumessian Fox was destined to never be caught, and it was a viscous little thing, it must be said, terrorising Thebes, which kept running low on chickens, amongst other things. So what would you set to catch such a beast? Why, perhaps a tame animal that is destined to always catch whatever it hunts, of course! Handily, Lailaps the dog was just such a thing, and his big-headed owner Cephalus was happy to play along. So off the two of them went, running and hunting, never being caught but never missing in an endless paradox until Zeus - completely cheesed off by the oh-so-clever Greeks - turned the both to stone and then put them in the stars (Canis Minor, some say, but the star have moved a bit since then so who knows?). Will this cache fox you? Or are you more like Lailaps: the cacher destined to find all that they seek?

The great Lailaps, that hound
Cannot run me to ground.
But of cachers beware
…‘Cos they look EVERYWHERE! |

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'.
