Geocaches - 4 Found, 2 Not Found
Walk Inspiration - Country Walking Magazine, March 2011
Chaddesley Corbett at EveryTrail
There was no way I was traveling too far today. Yesterday's 1 hour drive back from Cirencester took 3 hours. M5 blocked through two separate accidents. Enough to put you off venturing out of the house.
But the sun is shining. Initially, I think of a riverside walk in Bewdley but that's just going to be a floody mess. So I consult my local walks and notice a local one from Chaddesley Corbett from Country Walking Magazine. Gaiter up for the inevitable mud bath.
I have completed many walks from here. Plot the route on the map and I can see that most of the caches have been previously found but I must be taking on new paths, as there is hope of a few new smileys.
Park up, as usual, in front of the Talbot. How can a village of this size have exactly two more decent pubs than the town that I come from?
Is there a better place to start a walk? |
Also called the Forester' Walk |
Cache 2 is off a similar standard, but I do strike lucky and the log is in hand. Cache 3 is more amusing than complex.
I have worked my way to Dordale and must be back on previously walked paths, as there are caches here that have been found. If it wasn't for all the mud, it would have been superb walking.
This takes me to the outskirts of Dodford but I am soon back into the woodland of High Wood. There are two new caches to have a look for but I did not expect much. The clues are a touch vague (Holly - at Xmastime), off the main paths and under tree cover mean that I have a look but fail. Still, others have found them, so my fail is purely down to my own ineptitude.
That leaves a micro for the remainder of the walk.
Still, I am on good paths under blue skies. |

The questions for tomorrow are a) do I travel and b) do I dare go near a river?
