My mouth has been
rather aching lately. During the week I’ve started using an electric toothbrush
and I wonder if the thing might be a little too vigorous for my poor gob.
I got up probably about
two hours earlier than most people would have done today, and was glad to see
my little dog asleep at the foot of the bed. With "er indoors TM" off geo-camping he’s
spent most of the week sleeping by the front door waiting for her to come home.
Over brekkie (which it hurt to chew) I had a look-see
on-line. The Wherigo I
created for the Welsh Mega seems to be being visited a lot. I suppose that
even if I didn’t get along, at least I’ve contributed to it. And there was a
job or two I might consider applying for as well.
I forced brekkie into a
sleepy dog, and we got into the car and set off. Two minutes later we came home
for a bandanna and then set off again. We met Karl and Tracey just north of
Maidstone and got into their car and together we all set off on a little
adventure. First of all to Shoreham toll bridge, and then into Wiston in West
Sussex. The Wiston Wobble is a series of sixty-eight geocaches. Possibly rather
ambitious, but we thought we’d give it a go.
We had a great time. Some of
the paths were overgrown to the point of being impassable, but others gave us
rather spectacular views. The South Downs were rather beautiful, and we saw
several buzzards as we walked. Saw them and heard them too. They aren’t quiet
birds.
And we even had a couple of
pints in the Star in Steyning. Can you believe it?
Cache-wise the route was
something of a disappointment. We ended up trying for seventy-two caches but
failed to find four of them. And most of the ones we did find were rather
mouldy and in need if a little maintenance.
We got back to the car rather
later than anticipated, but that was not a problem. We then relocated to
Copthorthe (near Gatwick Airport)
where we had a rather good bit of dinner at a pub with the wonderful name of “The Curious Pig in the Parlour”. We
shall definitely be going back to this place. We ate outside (with table service) – my fish pie and
pavlova was really good. And Ringwood best bitter too.
We didn’t get home till
10.30pm. I took a few photos whilst I was out – it was
quite late by the time I’d got them on-line.
I’m rather worn out….
