This cache is a replacement for GC1HEQJ The Lhergy Cripperty.
“Lhergy” reminds us of “Lurgi Strikes Britain”, a 1954 episode of The Goon Show written by Spike Milligan and Eric Sykes in which Ned Seagoon must deal with a national outbreak of a highly dangerous, highly infectious and — as it turns out — highly fictitious disease known as the Dreaded Lurgi.
Unfortunately, the more recent pandemic has been much more real and much more widespread so please observe the necessary hygiene routine when searching for this – or any other – geocache. The current local guidelines can be found here.
So, what’s the real meaning of “Lhergy”? The road between the A1 and A24 just outside Union Mills is called the Lhergy Cripperty. The word "Lhergy" means Slope, and "Cripperty" means Wrinkled (thanks to monstermunch for the translation). Hence, Lhergy Cripperty could roughly be translated as "Wrinkled Slope".
If you look NNE from the point where the cache is located, you will see a number of peaks in the distance. They are (from left to right) Carraghan (1,640ft), Beinn-y-Phott (1,785ft), Snaefell (2,037ft), Mullagh Ouyr (1,611ft), and Slieau Lhean (1,539ft). In the foreground, you will see the villages of Glen Vine and Union Mills.
