2016 Leap Year cache #2 – Alfreton
While the calendar assumes the Earth revolves around the sun every 365 days, it actually takes the Earth a bit longer - 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. If the calendar were not adjusted for the extra six hours by adding an extra day approximately every four years, the calendar would slowly shift and the seasons would no longer be aligned with the traditional months.
Without Leap Days, the calendar would be off by 24 days within 100 years. For geocachers however, we just get an extra days caching!
Fun leap day fact - Local poet Lord Byron was born on a Leap Day.
The cache container you are looking for is a little one, therefore you will need to bring your own pen, we also advise bringing tweezers that may be useful in extracting the logs.
Also, due to the location of the hide, please be aware of on looking local houses and walkers on the path for the potential of being muggled when searching for the caches and signing the logs.
We hope you enjoy searching for this cache and request that the cache is left as found so that it does not fall out of its hide.
We hope you enjoy the cache
&
Happy Caching!
