Dan Q found GC2CWQ7 #036 Just Northamptonshire

This checkin to GC2CWQ7 #036 Just Northamptonshire reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

As a semi-regular at Fairport’s Cropredy Convention who likes to get up earlier then the others I share my tent with, I’ve done my fair share of early morning geocaching in this neck of the woods.

Of course: over the years this practice has exhausted most of tree caches local to Cropredy and my morning walks have begun to take me further and further afield. But this is certainly the first time I’ve walked to the next county in search of a cache!

A doe and her fawn stand alert in a harvested grain field, alongside a tower of cuboid hay bales, in the light of a summer morning.

Coming across the fields from Williamscot via Prescote Farm treated me to gorgeous rolling hills free fields of freshly-harvested corn getting picked at by families of deer, while the red kites above went looking for their breakfasts.

The final hill up to the GZ required a bit of a push for my legs which were dancing until late last night, but soon I was close and the cache was quickly found in the second place I looked.

In front of a gate with a 'cattle crossing' sign, Dan waves to the camera with a hand whose wrist has a Cropredy 2025 wristband.

TFTC. Oxfordshire says hello!
