7 June 2026 (Sunday) - Shimpling

 

I had somewhat naively hoped that the dogs would have slept better last night. This early morning’s bout of silly beggars took place at five o’clock; half an hour earlier than it did yesterday. Having given the impression that they needed a widdle I opened the bedroom door… and then had to chase all three round the cottage to herd them into the garden. I saw two raking out, and can only hope the third did too.
We got back to bed eventually…
 
After a bit of brekkie we got going. We went down to nearby Shimpling where we had a bit of a walk following a series of geocaches as we do. There was a minor incident as the dogs chased off after a huge rabbit… it might have been a hare: I really should find out what the difference is.
We found an archaeology site. No one was digging though which was probably for the best as we could have made serious nuisances of ourselves. We had a picnic in the graveyard…
Geocaching-wise I can’t recommend the route. When you hide a geocache you rate the difficulty, state the size of the thing, and give a little clue. The difficulties were all left at the default setting, the sizes given (when given at all) were misleading, and the clues were meaningless at best. Sadly many of the caches had been seemingly just drop-kicked into the hedge. Which was very strange as the chap had clearly put a lot of effort into creating quite a few very well made hand-crafted caches.
one.
 
After six and a half miles we were back at the car. We came home for a little drinkie. And another. And another. And the evening got progressively more and more vague.
