This Geocache hide is a plastic rectangular click top container. Inside are three decorative tins associated with Christmas. Similar to the three cups and pea trick, only one contains the log sheet.

Follow the GREEN trail from the carpark. At the "Fork", please take the LEFT path up through the trees. At the "T" junction please turn RIGHT and continue along this path. The cache is located on your LHS. Look for the "Wildlife Stump" (this is a tree trunk with its top cut-off, and normally larger than 6FT tall and has no branches). To the right of this is a stump/root structure, slightly tilted.

Boots APPROPRIATE FOOTWARE REQUIRED



The fairy ring can also be known as:

Elf circle.
Elf ring.
Fairy circle.
Cylch y Tylwyth Teg (Welsh.
Pixie ring.

and frequently feature in British folklore.

Because fairies are associated with Magic, fairy rings have magical superstitions attached to them:

  1. It is said that if one stands in the center of a fairy ring under a full Moon and makes a wish, the wish will come true.
  2. Collecting dew from the grass or flowers from inside a fairy ring can bring bad luck.
  3. According to many English and Celtic tales, any human who enters a fairy ring will be forced to dance with the creatures, unable to stop until they go mad or perish of exhaustion.

In English and Celtic folklore, fairy rings were caused by fairies or elves dancing in a circle.
