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!

Nice easy find. No sign of the travel bug, though: must’ve already moved on…

Really quite beautiful valley alongside here, full of farms and forests.

Out of water and feeling the heat, I almost called it quits. But the route for the caches was only marginally longer than the fastest route for me to get back to the car… And besides, I’d come so far already! I resolved to finish the series, and pressed on up to this one.

Hint confused me here, because I misunderstood it and I thought it was self-contradictory. Then I worked out what was meant, and found it instantly. Whoops!

A bit of undergrowth in the way, but otherwise an easy find. TFTC.

As a quick diversion from my Northern Loop, I stepped down here to grab the link cache. Cute hiding spot, but I got mobbed by midges!

Feels strange going straight from twenty-something to seventy-something! Just ran out of water and, as the photo shows, the sun is high.

Somewhere back there, I found my 200th cache, apparently. Hurrah! Today has already become my highest-scoring day of caching, beating my previous score of 17, and there are still plenty to go! TFTC.

Strong smell of sileage as I hunted for this one. Makes a change from my everyday Oxford city centre life!

Looking in vaguely the right place I was just thinking that it would take me AGES to search all of the possible hiding places, then I spotted something out-of-place that suddenly made it obvious. Thanks!
