Yesterday I mentioned
that I'd ricked my neck. It was still a tad painful at brekkie, but
not as bad as it has been. Over that brekkie I checked out the
Internet. It was much the same as it had ever been. I then put the
ladder into the car, put Fudge's collar and lead on him and we set
off to fetch Cassie.
Earlier in the week I'd
mentioned on Facebook about the possibility of walking the Monkdown
Meander; a series of nineteen geocaches about half an hour's drive
away. A lot of people had already done this series, but Cassie hadn't
and said she fancied a day out.
Only taking one wrong
turn along the way we soon parked up at Bredhurst church and found
the cache there. And then we were on to the Monkdown Meander. Bearing
in mind that Chris was the cache owner of the series we had the
option to "phone a friend" if we should need to.
Having fallen at the first hurdle that was exactly what we did at
thee first cache. But after something of a false start we saw off the
rest of the walk without incident. Our GPS readings were a bit
squafty at times, but that is to be expected under trees. We found
all of the caches on the route,, and I picked up four trackables
which was something of a personal best. A good walk with excellent
company in beautiful surroundings. Can't be bad.
With the five mile walk
done (pausing only briefly to nearly demolish a fence) we
stopped off at a nearby playpark to find a cache attached to the play
equipment (yes - I know that's against the rules) and at
another one which was up a tree. Having found a total of twenty-three
caches we decided to call it a day and we came home. Having had a
little look at my numbers it's vaguely possible I might qualify for
the three hundred finds in one calendar month challenge if I make
something of a concerted effort. If I'm to do this I need to find
another one hundred and sixty two caches in the next eight days.
That's do-able.
I then rolled up my
sleeve for the tattoo needle. It's been a while since I was last
taattooed; you tend to forget how much it hurts....
