Number found - 3
Been on holiday for two weeks and didnt think there would be much caching going on in Africa. So, in an effort to keep the numbers up, I attempt this stroll around Leasowes Park in Halesowen. There are around 10 caches in the park but due to *cough* rustiness and bad weather, I only manage three. Pathetic!
In prep for setting off, I ask Mrs Mappiman on the weather - she says no rain till 2pm, so I dont bother with coat or GPS protection - big mistake.
Get to the park and find the first easily enough - nicely hidden cache with good views over the park.... Lots of pools and a great big golf course. This makes the trail tricky, as its not obvious on which paths to take and you dont want to be traipsing a labradoodle when the golfers are on the green.

The reason - one - people - there were loads around. I am not crawling under a bridge when there is the chace of being spotted. Nor am I going hunting at a cache called "No Fishing" that has three fishermen sat around the pool.
Finally, the non promised rain game down very heavy. I dont mind getting wet but with no protection for the GPS, I decide to head back to the car.
I will return to this area again!
