Current Goal

Being a small connection box for electric wires this bug would like to get to Colchester, UK (or any more far flung Colchesters), the home of William Gilbert one of the originators of the term 'Electricity'.

About This Item

William Gilbert, also known as Gilberd, (24 May 1544 – 30 November 1603) was an English physician, physicist and natural philosopher. He was an early Copernican, and passionately rejected both the prevailing Aristotelian philosophy and the Scholastic method of university teaching. He is remembered today largely for his book De Magnete (1600), and is credited as one of the originators of the term electricity. He is regarded by some as the father of electrical engineering or electricity and magnetism.

This little box was found in the wall of our house and fancied some fresh air!!!

    I've retrieved this from a Colchester cache to see that he wants to get to Colchester. I can replace him in a local cache or would he now like to go somewhere else on another adventure?
