Another quick and easy find. Thanks!

GPSr was off again, and the hint just made me more-confused.I moved things around for some time without success. The horse in the adjoining field (Ruby?) came over to investigate, and at that moment, my GPSr started behaving and pointed right at where I should have been looking the whole time. Also a convenient place to sit for a sip of water: it’s starting to get warm…

An easy find, in a beautiful spot. Thanks for sharing it with me!

Discovered without difficulty after a short search. Still in shade, but I’m aware that the sun’s moving and soon I’m going to be caught out in the open: hope my sunscreen holds up!

An easy find. Didn’t see the woodpecker, but did spot a goldfinch.

Beautiful location. Watched a women feed some young goats, nearby, as her dogs played in the field (didn’t take a picture of the cute goats, sorry, because she was already looking at me suspiciously enough as I stood around looking for the cache). TFTC.

Started looking in entirely the wrong place and, with the help of the hint, started looking for ways to “open” entirely the wrong thing. Got there in the end, and felt like a right wally. TFTC.

GPSr was off my a little way, but the hint sorted me right out. TFTC.

Sneaky hiding place: I’ll be on the lookout for more like this, now, as I work my way around the loop. TFTC.

Enjoyed the walk in the shade, here. TFTC.

And so it begins! I’ve been spending this week on holiday in Croyde, and decided this afternoon to attempt the Northern loop of the Way Down West series, which I’d earmarked for an expedition (and copied to my GPSr) last week. It was an awesome series, and I wish I could give Favourite Points to about a dozen of them, but I don’t have enough to spare and I’ll instead just give a point to this, the first one, in the hope that it’ll encourage others to attempt the series, too.

Love the hiding place: I’m always pleased to see a cacher put some effort into their hides. TFTC.

Parked at the recommended coordinates (thanks) in anticipation of finding this cache, and then attempting the Northern loop of the nearby Way Down West series, this afternoon. Lovely little churchyard and an easy find: a great start to today’s expedition.
