A Snapper's Stroll

After a quiet two weeks of caching we finally got our teeth into a meaty series on Sunday. As part of Team PADS again (Patrick, Aggrajag, Donna, Spandannah, kids & doggie) we met up at 10am in Barnsley to do the reasonably new "The Snappers" series "A Snappers Stroll".

This starts a couple of minutes drive from J37 of the M1 at the Locke Park car park but heads off south and then west over the M1 then a long W/SW loop before heading back, over the M1 again on a different footbridge and looping back up to the start.

It's a very good series of 18 caches during which we also picked up 3 unrelated ones. Total walk was 8.3 miles over 4.5 hours including searching, signing, swaps and a lunch break.

I took a couple of travel bugs on the way around which I'm hoping to drop in Dublin at the weekend - assuming we find caches big enough to place them in.

We were out of practice and aching a bit last night but a big thanks must go to the UKSNAPPERS for taking the time to lay down a nice long series.

Also a big thanks to Patrick, Donna and family for entertaining us on the way around.
