Sat in the shade with my panting pupper and almost immediately spotted this clever cache container. A great location and an imaginative container! Definitely worth an FP from me.

A good hiding spot for this type of cache, which the geohound and I found while on a walk this sunny morning. TFTC.

Large field near Tawny’s Farm, East of Stanton Harcourt.
Between dropping the kids off at school and going to the dentist I had a small window of time in the vicinity of this hashpoint. Could I make it? I figured I’d rush out there and find out. It’d all depend on whether the field was actively in-use (I’m not gonna go tramping through crops!).
I’ve been sort-of distracted from geohashing after my house flooded and I had to evacuate earlier this year, so I’ve not had much opportunity to get out and participate. But today, that changed!
After dropping the kids at their schools I drove to Manor Cottages at 51.746, -1.396 where I knew I’d be able to park, then set off at a jog down the rest of Steadys Lane and onto the permissive footpath beyond. I waved to a solitary walker coming the other way, and pressed on until I was close to the field.
Satellite photography suggested that I wouldn’t be able to enter the field directly, so I hopped a gate into the field West of it and was pleased to discover that neither field was currently cultivated.
The hashpoint turned out to be about 700 metres into the field, and it felt sort of open and exposed to go tramping right across the middle of it, but sure enough that’s where I reached the circle of uncertainty, at 08:53.
Coming back, I spotted a disused and rusty old gate that provided easier access to the field, which provided a quicker way back to the footpath.
No tracklog today. 😢 I’m not sure if I’ve seen my GPSr since the flood, so I was just working off my my phone.

For a while I was looking way too high, but in the end I caught a glimpse of this surprisingly well-concealed container.
And that’s the loop complete! Big thanks to the CO for setting this excellent trail spanning so many gorgeous footpaths, many of them new to me despite being relatively local!
Thanks for all the caches, and for a delightful Spring morning’s walk!

A good thematic cache container which we managed to find in a gap between muggle traffic. TFTC.

QEF for the geohound and I as we push on into the final straight of our circular walk. TFTC!

My GPSr – and my eyes – locked on to a nearby gate post which I searched thoroughly before realising it wasn’t the host: d’oh! Eventually found success while the doggo tried to make more sheepy friends.

Solid coordinates walked me right into this one, although I’ve still got to give it credit for excellent camouflage! TFTC.

TOTT? Hah! I laugh in the face of your arbitrary requirements. 😂 A little climbing and a big stretch put this cache in my hand with no need for field manufacturing. The dog watched on, bemused, from the path.

It’s funny, I’ve cycled down the nearby back road countless times but never known that this footpath was here.
Near the GZ the geopup saved the day on this one, spotting the requisite geotrail and bringing me back to it. A bit of hair-pulling from the nearby trees didn’t stop me retrieving this nice, large cache. TFTC!

The GZ was awash with sheep and lambs and we weren’t able to even get close to the cache until we’d gently shooed them all away then it was an easy find. TFTC!

Spent a while hunting in entirely the wrong place, got the hint, then searched in a different wrong place before remembering that the hint object is a thing that comes in two halves. Where’s the other half? One I’d found that, retrieving the cache was easy. Although I did get pooped on by a bird I disturbed in the tree above the cache!

Another QEF for the doggo and I. I wonder if the Rose is open yet? The dog might be happy quenching her thirst from the river but I’m not!

Convenient access to the water here made this an ideal spot for a hot doggo to cool her paws and have a drink while I found the cache.
Hint isn’t how I’d describe this object!

Finding the hiding place was easy, but the cache was a bit deeper than I expected. What a delightfully bright morning it’s turning out to be! TFTC.
