Geocache Description:

Cache by the side of a single track road. Parking nearby. Small 35mm container. Part of the Trowie trail.


The road from Freester to Catfirth is called "The tea and sugar Road. This has to do with it always being the road to the shop. We have picked a spot where there is a small pool filled with brown peat water and in the summer leaves. Nearest thing to a pot of tea we could find. The caches is nearby and separated from the pool by a fence so safe enough.

IN Shetland if you are invited for your 8 o'clocks it means come for tea and cake. You would go to a neighbours house and talk, play cards or "Tack dee sock"  (whatever you are knitting ). This also the orad you would come in to visit the hall that does tremendous SUnday teas. This is also a tradition in SHetland where local communities take it in turns to put on Sunday teas over the summer.

In the folkloric traditions of the Orkney and Shetland islands, a trow (alternatively trowe or drow) is a small, troll-like fairy creature.[1] Trows, in general, are inclined to be short of stature, ugly and both shy and mischievous in nature. Like the troll of Scandinavian legend, with which the trow shares many similarities, trows are nocturnal creatures; venturing out of their 'trowie knowes' (earthen mound dwellings) solely in the evening, they often enter households as the inhabitants sleep. Trows traditionally have a fondness for music, and folktales tell of their habit of kidnapping musicians or luring them to their dens.
