THE ALPHABET CACHES
This idea, and much of the text, is borrowed (or stolen!)
from
the Curse of the FTF series which now has quite a few
branches
running around the country. With apologies to the originator.
The Alphabet Caches is a series which requires the FTF cacher
to
place the next cache in the series after reading the
following
rules.
Caches should be place within a 30-mile radius of Keighley,
at
least for the first run through the alphabet.
RULES:
1)The First To Find should place a further
Alphabet
Cache beginning with the next letter of the alphabet. The
second
cache will then be called The Alphabet Caches – B, the
third
one The Alphabet Caches – C, etc. Please note only the
FTFer
should place the next cache, not everyone who subsequently
visits.
2)You can be the FTF on this series once only in order to
give
everyone a chance, until everyone who wants a go at FTF has had
a
chance, then it's a Free-For-All!
3)On reaching the letter Z the next cacher will start the
alphabet
again, commencing with The Alphabet Caches – A2. When
we
reach Z100 we might have to think again!
4)All caches should be Traditional caches.
5) All boxes should be of a decent size for swaps –
minimum
.75 litre. NO MICROs!
6) Caches placed should contain some “starter” swaps
of
the correct initial letter. As we progress through the alphabet
a
little bit of imagination/licence might be required. Let's see
how
inventive you can be!
7) Only items with the correct initial letter may be swapped
– Initial A for The Alphabet Caches - A, B for The
Alphabet
Caches - B etc. For instance, you could not put a Crocodile
in
Cache T, but you could leave a Tyrannosaur! It is not essential
to
swap items – normal caching rules apply for this.
8) The Introduction, rules and the history below should be
pasted
into each cache page and new details appended as the series
grows.
>By way of clarification, there is no
requirement besides the standard signing of the cache log to
prevent you from logging this cache when found. Everyone should
log
their find, and hopefully the FTF person will play along and
place
another cache, but it is in no way a requirement for logging
your
find. But if you don't intend to carry on the series please DO
NOT
FTF, rather leave it for someone else.
Alphabet Cache – A starter swaps:
Anglers' Floats,Austin Allegro, Artificial flowers, Airacobra
glider, Antelope, Air freshener.
Alphabet Cache – B starter swaps:
Balloons, Ball, Bug, Bottle stop, Biro (please don't trade!),
(jelly) Beans for the FTF.
