Geocache Description:

A quick cache and dash - but be aware that "Godinton Road" can only be accessed from one end - the other entrance is "Taxi's and buses only" and there is often police sat waiting (to catch naughty drivers) We think this cache is straightforward (but then they always are when you know what you are looking for and where it is hidden)

"Twelfth night" is a festival in some branches of Chrisianity marking the coming of the Epiphany and concluding the twelve days of Christmas. There is often confusion as to wether twelfth night precedes or follows the 6th January. One of the sources of confusion is believe to stem from the medieval custom of starting each new day at sunset so the twelfth night ends up coming before the twelfth day...

There is also the belief in a lot of places that it is unlucky to leave Christmas decorations up after "Twelfth night (wether it is the evening of the 5th or the 6th) - this belief is originally attached to the festival of Candlemas.

Not because of bad luck but purely because of tradition all Twelfth night means in the Kitkave household is that the Christmas Cards come down and Mrs Kitkave is very sad :(

What better way to combat the sadness than a new cache
