Geocaches - 6
Pub - Horse and Hound, Broadway. Old Hooky.
Sonia is working at Broadway Tower and the sun is shining. I spy an opportunity to add in a walk on her travel expenses and be provided with a gentle re-introduction to walking after the heavy work of completing the South Downs Way this week.
I can be dropped off at the Tower, grab a few caches and work my way down the hill to be collected and taken to lunch.
Too good a chance to miss.
To start the caching, there is a nice simple multi, collecting clues from around the famous tower. The views, of 13 counties apparently, are spectacular.
How Many Round Windows? How many Gargoyles? Answers needed for a Cache |
Views over 13 Counties |
Walking away from the Tower to the First Cache |
Cache found (after a minor recalculation) and off to an Earth Cache and then a chance to find a previous DNF in the woods down and away from Fish Hill. Glad to have righted that particular wrong.
The views are that good, that I get seduced from my planned route by a fine looking path downhill. Forced to double back.
Unsurprising that I was tempted |
Superb Walking |
I'm working my way down to Saintbury - a previously unexplored hamlet in the Cotswolds. It has the most wonderful church, which I may be incorrect in stating, is abandoned. The Churchyard was very overgrown and despite it being a Sunday morning, there was no other human activity.

Oldest Tombstone spotted - 1792 |
Never felt more like a hitchhiker in my life.
She whisks me away from the walking/caching and we find car parking at the back of the Horse and Hound in Broadway high street.
A fine ploughman's and Old Hooky for lunch.
