And that’s it! That’s me done for the day. What a delightful and carefully places series of caches. I really hope I get time to do the Southern Loop someday, too! But for now, it’s time to get back to the car (where I’ve stashed some now much-needed water) and then back to Croyde for a drink in the hot tub.
Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!

Easy find, but then I went the wrong (long) way down the hill, taking the winding road rather than the footpath. Doh!

Really nice to see the village in the distance where my car’s parked: it’s been quite an adventure, but I’m looking forward to watching the sun set with a glass of wine in my hand.

Took a little while to find this: perhaps my mind is elsewhere. Like… already thinking how nice it’ll be too get back to the place I’m staying and get into the hot tub!

After some really quite-overgrown paths (see photo), I was quite glad to get back onto a nice, hard road: far easier on my poor feet.

Beautiful spot! Sad to see the tennis court in the garden next door in such a state of disrepair, though.

Found without difficulty (with the help of the hint). TFTC.

Getting even boggier underfoot now! How is this possible of such a sunny day?

I lost my pen somewhere in this meadow, but thankfully I was able to find a somewhat-blunt pencil in my pocket with which to sign the log.

A little damp underfoot here, but at least I didn’t have to stand in it for long: an easy find.

GPSr was playing up again but the hint set me right.

An easy find at the start of this, the risk stretch of my expedition. I think I’ve sweated off all of my sunscreen, but the sun’s give behind some clouds so I think I’m okay.

Lovely little lane. Found the cache, then hopped the brook and turned left to rejoin the trail.

Okay: I made a HUGE mistake heading to this one. Somehow I must have ended up on the wrong path, because I found myself on an abandoned footpath (definitely a footpath, though: the stone walls it crossed had stiles), heavily overgrown and increasingly flooded! Eventually I had to give up and change course, hacking my way through 7-foot nettles to rejoin the main path. Should’ve brought a machete! Got to the cache in the end, though!

Looks like some recent work has taken place to repair this fence (in fact, spare fence posts and tools were still lying about!), and I was worried that the cache night have been muggled, but there it was, in exactly the kind of spot I’ve learned to expect from this series!
