Geocache Description:

Inspiration for this cache taken after a visit to Phooning in Derby.

To log this as a find as the cache owner intended, please upload your Phoon photo with your log.

The phoon photo must be taken on the steps of the market hall, beneath 'Time the Avenger'.

You will require a partner, or a passing muggle, to take the photo.


Rules for the Phoon Pose:-

Stand sideways to the camera, and bend you arms at the elbows.

Lift one arm behind your back, another to the front.

Lean forward at the waist, and bend the knee that you're standing on, bringing your other leg up behind you.

Silly facial expressions, big grins and deadpan are all acceptable.

The cache is a magnetic nano with log only. BYOP
 

Legend has it that in the quest to find sufficient capital for a new market hall, the Reverend J.B. Stevens went about collecting subscriptions. Two of his targets were members of the local gentry, Sir Henry and Lady Sophia Des Voeux; but whereas her Ladyship volunteered £20, her
husband was meaner. Suffering from gout and recent financial losses in court, he was eventually persuaded to match his wife’s generosity on condition that the words “Time the avenger” were inscribed below the  clock on the new hall. That inscription is still perfectly visible today.

Phoon Photos are not compulsory to claim a smiley,but will earn you extra Kudos
