20/2/11 - Pershore Caching

Geocaches - 8
First Cache

20/2/10 - Pershore Geocaching at EveryTrail


Where do the weekends go... yesterday was trip to Stratford for a butterfly farm (three caches in the town) to support my daughter in the pursuit of A Level Design.... today was the Albion on TV at lunch, Alex playing football in the afternoon, my dad's birthday and hopefully some time to clear down something off the sky planner.  Plus the fact that I am reading cutting for stone, which appears to be the biggest book..... in the world.  (Top Gear is on in the background as I log caches)

So a short cache trip was in order - and Pershore seems to have a plethora of caches and there is a nice little trail around the hamlet of Wick.

Park up at the bridges and head off in the opposite direction (upsteam) to the usual walk that I complete in Pershore which takes in Tyddesley wood.  This walk is very flat - no wonder it was chosen as an airfield in WW2 and takes in 6 caches on the walk around wick trail plus two outliers.  The final cache, on the opposite side of the bridge has another memento from WW2 - an inland Pull box.  This is the first time I think that I have seen one of these not on the coast.  And yes, there is a cache there.

Had company today, as Mrs Mappiman came with me - finding Wick number 2 when I would have given up.  However, as the camera wasn't charged, no photos.

Finish up after less than 2 hours - hope to see a sandwich van on the way home and fail and make it to the pub to watch a greek broadcast of the game.  Last minute equaliser leaves me in a decent mood.
