We were wondering if we
should postpone today's planned walk as "Gordon Tracy"
had been suffering with intestinal difficulties. But he sent a
message saying that he'd dosed himself up with immodium, and that
after the judicious application of a cork he was raring to go. Go
walking that was. He'd done enough of the other sort of "going"
over the last few days.
Three of us set off to
Peasmarsh to the "Walk Ramble and Roam" series of
geocaches. Whilst we walked this circuit we picked up three other
nearby caches as well. All were relatively straight-forward finds.
All except one of them which eluded us. Bearing in mind how quickly
we found all the other caches here, I suspect the one we couldn't
find has gone missing, but as always I wouldn't like to commit myself
to saying so.
It was at this cache that
we couldn't find that "Furry Face TM"
's lead broke. Fortunately I had a length of rope in my pocket, and
I've been wanting to get him a better extending lead anyway.
After an hour or so we
were back at the car, and we then moved on to Beckley Woods. After a
picnic lunch eaten in the car we then did a little more caching. This
was trickier. With one exception the afternoon's sport was multi-and
puzzle caches. All had beem put out as stand-alone caches so it took
a little thinking to come up with a workable route to get them all.
However Neon Geo was (as ever) up to the challenge.
We found all but one of
these caches. Whereas I am relatively confident that the morning's
DNF is really not there, this afternoon's has me thinking. The tree
cover was not helping a GPS fix; and there were lots of potential
hides. We may well go back for this cache at some point; I shall keep
my eye on it and see if anyone else gets lucky in the meantime.
We came home via a couple
of roadside caches in Udimore, including one in a phone box the door
of which was stuck. As always there are one
or two photos of our walk here.
Once home I hised the mud
off of my dog. And then off of myself. With er indoors TM"
off out for the evening I settled my dog into his basket, and as he
snored I caught up with all sorts of stuff I'd recorded onto the Sky
Plus box. Surprisingly I didn't sleep through quite as much of it as
much as I thought I would have done...
