Yesterday we walked for
about ten miles and came home early for astro club only to find I'd
got the dates wrong. It was probably for the best. We spent the
evening drying out my mobile phone and er indoors TM"
's undercrackers whilst listening to the rain, and realising that
having cancelled the camping weekend had been the sensible thing to
do.
I woke early again, and
as I got out of my pit something happened that hasn't happened for
ages. I had a nose bleed. I used to get them all the time. Now they
are very rare. A nuisance though, as I scoffed by brekkie with toilet
roll bunged up my nostril.
We then set off to
collect the troops and four of us and two small dogs went for a walk
around Hawkinge. Regular readers of this drivel might expect that
there would be a geocache involved. There was. Twelve on this route.
Some of them weren't the easiest to find, but that's not a bad thing.
We messed about in a graveyard looking for a gravestone when we
should have been looking for a tree; we picked up another geocacher
on the way, we had a good walk. As we finished the walk at mid day we
met up with Hosey and we all adjourned to the Cat and Custard Pot for
a pint to wash down our sarnies.
And then with the weather
being so much better than yesterday we cached on for the afternoon.
We found the two hides that me and Hosey couldn't find the other day.
We found one right at the bottom of the Downs (having walked down
from the top). We all trod in cow poo. Suzy-pup got allowed off
the lead and she seemed to enjoy running. We had a really good time
out.
We ended up just north of
Folkestone at the bottom of Sugar Loaf Hill looking up. For those of
my loyal readers who don't know the area, Sugar Loaf Hill is where
they got the idea for Mount Everest from. Understandably we decided
against going up there. We came home for a really good bit of pizza,
cake and custard for tea.
And with er indoors
TM" off for an evening's bowling and
"Furry Face TM" snoring, I settled
down for more of my on-line psychology course. Self awareness....
fascinating!
