Geocache Description:

A fantasy cache, using the imagination around the folklore of fairies.
There is an actual place , a copse of trees,
that the geocachers can visit but it is not necessary to. 


*THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE GIVEN CO=ORDINATES*

You may like to visit the spot where the fairies were last seen.

There are no given co=ordinates given for the GZ but there is a simple method to discover them.

Fairies resemble various beings of other mythologies, though even folklore that uses the term fairy offers many definitions. Various folkloristic traditions refer to them euphemistically, by names such as wee folk, good folk, people of peace, fair folk (Welsh tylwyth teg), etc. One common theme found among the Celtic nations describes a race of diminutive people who had been driven into hiding by invading humans.


The other day I entered the copse quietly and sitting down in the grass I kept very quiet and still. After some minutes I saw a fairy floating along until she stopped not far from where I was and then came down to the base of a tree. She was carrying a small cameoed box it was about to hide at the base of the tree. She suddenly saw me and flew off . Then four more fairies came and told me that was a rogue fairy who stole the treasure and is about to hide it somewhere else.

The Fairies are willing to help you with the co-ordinates of the hidden treasure but they have never learnt numbers, only the small lowercase letters of our alphabet. So they have struggled to give you some help identifying our numbers to the alphabet. These are the co-ordinates you need -

south 40*5A.BCD east 174*5E.FGH
and here is what the Fairies have given….

  • A=h-c
  • B=f-c
  • C=d+c
  • D=g-b
  • E=e+c
  • F=d+b
  • G=g-d
  • H=e+d
