Wildlife

On Sunday, once the rain had abated, we popped out to plant Hannah's new series. We'd done an exploratory walk a couple of weeks previously and had made approximate location plans for each cache so that they wouldn't fall foul of each other regarding the 0.1 mile apart rule and also wouldn't infringe on my 'reserved' spot for another mystery cache. (It's not really reserved but Hannah was kind enough to let me keep it as I'd planned it a month before. More news on this cache in a couple of weeks hopefully.)

We wandered around a very sodden landscape looking carefully for the best locations and taking multiple averaged GPS readings which we then manually averaged in order to be able to publish the best coordinates possible.

The fifth cache is a clever, yet easy little puzzle using wildlife carvings on posts alongside the River Rother between Catcliffe and Treeton and adds some interest to a part of the walk where you have to backtrack on yourself.

We published them at 8pm last night, they were live by 9pm, and there's already been two finds of each cache today by midday!

I'm very proud of her and in one fell swoop she's equalled my total number of cache ownerships!
