Geocache Description:

PLEASE read the additional notes at the bottom...

 

The Gruffalo trail #2– A fox saw the mouse……..
 
A fox saw the mouse and the mouse looked good.
‘Where are you going to, little brown mouse? Come and have lunch in my underground house.’
 ‘It’s terribly kind of you, Fox, but no- I’m going to have lunch with a gruffalo.’
‘A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?’ ‘A gruffalo!
Why, didn’t you know? He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.’
‘Where are you meeting him?’
 ‘Here by theses rocks, and his favourite food is roasted fox.’
 ‘Roasted fox! I’m off!’ Fox said. ‘Goodbye, little mouse’ and away he sped.
‘Silly old Fox! Doesn’t he know, There’s no such thing as a gruffalo?’

 

TAKE YOUR FOX AND MOVE ON TO #3

 

NOTE TO THE ADULTS

This is primarily a traditional geocache, Charms are subject to AVAILABILITY, as demand is quicker than supply, do let me know if the caches are down to about 10. If there are no charms it is rude to simply leave "empty" in the log.

- PENCIL/PEN IS NEEDED and is usually a necessary part of a basic geocache kit

- A few nettles and long grass around here so children should where trousers of ask adults to retrieve

- Charms are subject to AVAILABILITY, as demand is quicker than supply, do let me know if the caches are down to about 10, if not they will be empty!

- Please REPLACE the cache in the place is has been hidden, with lids SECURELY in place. (or it will get wet or be visible to MUGGLES and be taken).
 
-IF you are a large scout/school/girlguiding group doing this cache please contact beforehand to ensure there is plenty of stock in the cache, you could even drop some off for me.
