Geocache Description:

Odd little cache but no parking nearby. Say 'hello' or 'goodbye' to the woods here.
Don't forget to look back at the back-end of an Iron Age Hill fort in the field to the north.
FYI There's another cache nearby, completely unconnected with the series.



Ratatoskr

In Viking mythology there was a need for the eagle on top of the Great World Ash Tree to communicate with the dragon (wyrm) at the base of the tree, who would be heavily involved in Armageddon. Ratatoskr the squirrel was their message handler. Quite what the Eagle and the Wyrm wanted to say to each other is anyone's guess, Viking mythology isn't big on detail, after all. Maybe the wyrm was looking for a Sharant cache, and needed to PAF?



Here I go up again, "pass on another question"
Why go? Beyond my ken! - a dreary old obsession!
Down and round, branches all curled - Crikey, another session!
"It's the end of the world!?" - How I do love agression!

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'.
