Geocache Description:

This cache is rated R6 (Suitable for 6 year-olds to attend, but care due to cliffs in area of lookout). Before visiting this cache, you will need to Nick-a-Bic. Uplift (how is up to you) a brand/company named Bic or fancy metal pen. Plain pens, crayons and felt tips are void. You won't need to bring a pen to sign the log!

To the tune of "Teddy Bears Picnic" :) If you go down in the woods today, You're sure of a big surprise. If you go down in the woods today, You'll need some office supplies. For every cacher that ever there was Will gather there for certain because This is the cache they've come to call "The Bic Nick". Every cacher who's been good Is sure of a treat today. There's lots of marvellous pens to see But bring some pens to stay. Beneath the trees where nobody sees They'll search and seek as long as they please 'Cause that's the way to find "The Bic Nick" . If you go down in the woods today, You'd better not go alone. It's lovely down in the woods today, 'Cause cachers can't stay at home. For every pen that ever there was Will gather there for certain because Today's the day the world has had its Bics Nicked!. Okay, enough silliness... Leave path in vicinity of 35° 11.569 174°02.932 and backtrack in order to preserve cache location (last one went over the cliff courtesy of MuggleYobs)
