Geocache Description:

You are looking for Spanish Treasure hidden somewhere between Letchworth and Stevenage.

Once upon a time, I don't remember exactly when it happened, a Spanish Pirate came to the UK by plane, in the way modern pirates do. Legend tells that he had with him a famous Spanish Treasure, its value was so inestimable that he decided to hide it to avoid it being stolen.

A bartender from Stevenage told how the Spanish Pirate was drunk one evening and sang this song all night:

"a, b, c, 1, 2, 3... find the value of the key
Two sisters help define the range, but only seconds need to change
Key less stars, Nancy said friendly
Nancy less (September.June) replied Wendy
The key is sitting inside the tree, the house protects it from the stars, you see"

Nobody thought it was important - he was very drunk after all and he didn't seem to say anything useful.
