Geocache Description:


When I was at school, every summer we played a game that was NOT CRICKET. Now my daughters do the same. While the boys are playing cricket, they are playing NOT CRICKET. Perhaps at more enlightened schools the games aren't split so clearly along gender lines, but it's still true that overall, NOT CRICKET is a game mostly played by girls in the summer term.

NOT CRICKET is credited with being the inspiration for a very popular game in the USA, but most people in the USA have never heard of NOT CRICKET.

NOT CRICKET shares some similarities with cricket, but crucially it is NOT CRICKET. If you're not sure what game I'm referring to, ask the (British) women in your life what game they played every summer while the boys were playing cricket.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, because then you'd be right in the middle of a game of cricket (but never NOT CRICKET, which is not played here). To find it you'll need to learn a little more about NOT CRICKET.
