Ammo box. Allow 5 - 9Hrs walking time (Either 1-way or return depending on route taken, fitness etc). Take SPF 900+ sunblock, LOTS of water and forget the cellphone - no coverage. Keep an eye out for the Paraha vine, that used to be used for wrapping up the bodies thrown into the ovens at cannibal feasts: it's a delicate, wind-trembling
little flower that doesn't know its own sinister history. Its mauve bells are like silk.
When mankind accepted Prometheus' fire
The other Gods were displeased and planned revenge
So a sport called "Geocaching" they created
In order to send hapless souls around the bend
Now, Epimetheus and Pandora have had their day
With a certain box of notoriety
Geocachers can have their turn today
To play with a box of their variety
You must seek out Pandora to complete this task
And to find the elusive box in question
Proceed to where the sands of time have ceased to run
And travel three more posts extra elevation
Assume too much about this place
The box will be hard to claim
A better view is definitely to be had
When facing the disappearing day
And with luck you will have a fruitful search
And although this box once contained sorrow
Its days are now much happier and at peace
Waiting for the next cacher to turn up, maybe tomorrow?
Allow a day to traverse this course
The swimming is safe, the scenery is grand
It can be reached by Chaucers Pony, bike, parachute or horse
Stay a while and enjoy this remote spot of our lovely land.
