Last night as I went to
bed I saw my alarm was set. This morning I realised it was still set
for yesterday when I needed to be up an hour earlier than I did
today. So having been rudely awoken at 6am I lay awake for half an
hour before giving up.
I got up feeling somewhat
rough. We didn't actually walk that far yesterday; three miles at
most. So I was at a loss as to why I ached so much this morning. Also
my insides weren't quite what they might have been; I might think
twice about an "all you can eat" buffet in the
future.
I shared my brekkie toast
with "Furry Face TM". He ate that
happily enough but wouldn't touch his own brekkie until "er
indoors TM" put a small piece of cheese on
it. He then yummed it up.
I had a look-see on-line.
Little of note had happened overnight so I programmed "Hannah"
for the day's planned walk. I must admit had I been thinking I would
have charged up my tablet last night and used that today. I was
rather miffed to find it was only at twenty eight per cent battery
life. Last night the old "GPS vs phone" row kicked
off on Facebook. Having used GPS, phone and tablet extensively for
hunting tupperware over the last three years I have come to the
considered conclusion that the only advantage of a GPS unit is that
it has a strap so you can hang the thing round your neck.
We collected Suzy and her
associate and set off to Sole Street where we met the rest of today's
geo-wanderers. Having spent the last few weeks solving several
geo-puzzles the time had come to go find the caches.
I must admit I was a
little disappointed with the morning's route. having had a look-see
using Google Street View I planned our route along lanes which looked
rather quiet and narrow. They turned out o be much wider and busier
than I had thought.
After a couple of hours
we were back where we'd left the cars. We'd left them by a pub. We
had a pint of lunch and then went off on a circular stroll using
(mostly) footpaths. I was much more pleased with the
afternoon's route.
After some nine miles
walking we found ourselves back at the cars. Some of our number had
to get away; some of us stayed for a pint of Doombar followed by a
pint of Dartford Wobbler.
I then slept most of the
way home.
I
took a few photos whilst we were out. Once home I got them
on-line then scoffed a rather good bit of tea whilst watching
yesterday's episode of "Dad's Army". They didn't
like it up 'em. Whilst I waited for the washing machine to do its
thing I had a look-see on-line.
I then got my shirts
ironed and watched a little telly. I fell asleep half way through
"War and Peace",
