This checkin to GC4MJY0 R’n’R #9 – Thumper reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
The younger geokid and I had a plan, this morning, to drive out from our temporary (post-flood) accommodation in New Yatt, park at St. Peter’s in Wilcote, and then walk the dog around the area between Wilcote and Ramsden while we collect a few more caches from this excellent series.
Unfortunately our plans were scuppered early on when we discovered that a Scouts troop had completely occupied all possible parking spaces in Wilcote, and a platoon of children, supervised by some tired-looking adults, were beginning a walk around what looked likely to be the exact same routes we were planning.
So we came at it from the other angle. Driving around to Finstock, we parked near The Plough and came across the network of footpaths from the other end.
By the time we were at the corner of this field the kid and dog were enjoying running around in the Spring sunshine, and once we got to the GZ the cache itself was a quick and easy find… although the kid did take the time to stop and make a crude joke about the rabbit’s bum being corked!
