Geocache Description:


Fairies From Around The World

fairy or færie (Old English spelling) is a mythical and magical being that lives in a close, yet unseen reality to our own. They are usually depicted as small, magical beings. Some færies have certain jobs, such as the Tooth fairy, who gives money or treats under the pillow of small children who have had a tooth fall out. Fairies can also be found in folklore worldwide. This series looks at fairy folk from around the world. Here's hoping you find these caches with a little help from the magical creatures living around this park...


Fairy Folk: The Ogres

Ogres are part of fairy legend all around the world. Ogres appeared as giant humanoids with very muscular bodies and large heads. They stood between 9 and 10 feet tall and could weigh 600 to 650 lbs.

Ogres were a lazy, brutish, avaricious race with notoriously quick tempers. Their avaricious nature would often lead them distrust one another and incite squabbling over treasure.

Ogres generally preferred to rely on ambushing their foes and overwhelming them through sheer numbers.

In terms of weapons, ogres were typically seen to use uprooted trees and stone-tipped javelins.

You shouldn't see any Ogres wandering around this park but do look up as this cache is up high... you don't need to be as tall as an Ogre though.
