2016 Leap Year cache #3 – Sutton Lawn
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 - Karin Henriksen of Norway holds the world record for giving birth to the most children on consecutive leap days. Her daughter Heidi was born on February 29 1960, followed by son Olav in 1964 and son Lief-Martin in 1968.
The cache container you are looking for is a small screw top camouflaged tub large enough for a couple of small trackable’s or swappable’s.
Also, due to the location of the hide, please be aware of people enjoying the park and dog walkers on the nearby 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 complete with stickoflage so that it does not get spotted by non-cachers.
We hope you enjoy the cache
&
Happy Caching!
