The circuit is about a seven mile figure of 8, of 15 caches in total and can also incorporate several other caches in Walkington and Skidby (another seven as at Feb 2014). The caches are mainly bison tubes/key box caches, with one nano and one large box. Please bring tweezers and your own pen. There is a village shop in each village to stock up on refreshments, and a café at Risby (1/2 way round).
Queen are one of the greatest rock bands in history, formed in London in 1971, originally consisting of the late Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor. The band has released a total of 18 #1 albums, and 18 #1 singles worldwide. Their album sales are estimated to be around 200 million, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists.
It was the release of “A Night at the Opera” in 1975 that first brought the band to international prominence and the featured single "Bohemian Rhapsody", launched their long careers, charting at number one in the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks.
Recently, Queens “Greatest Hits” album sold its 6 millionth copy in the U.K.
This cache is named after the hit song: - “Hammer to Fall" The lyrics at several points refer to the Cold War era, fuelling the popular conception that the song was about nuclear war: The term "waiting for the hammer to fall" in the song was taken to refer to the Soviet Hammer and Sickle.
The song includes the lines - For we who grew up tall and proud, In the shadow of the mushroom cloud.
