Geocaches - 1
Walk From - One Hundred Hill Walks Around Birmingham, Walk 61
Time for the annual (11th year running) Christmas visit to the prime walking country that is found on the Welsh/English Border at Tintern.
Every walk has been unique - this time upstream on the English side of the River Wye to Brockweir before looping back to the Devil's Pulpit. You have to say that I pushing the limits of inspiration when I find this route in a book called "100 Hill Routes around Birmingham". We're a good 90 miles from there.
And how's this for uncanny. I check the GPX of the route when I get home. The distance is 6.66 miles. The altitude on the route where I checked the distance is 666 ft.
I've got a shiver running down my spine as I blog.
Park up at the £3, get your money back when you buy a drink at the pub, Anchor Car Park.
Take the same dawn-ish photo that I have taken for the last 11 years.

Once through Beeches Farm, the path turns into the wonderfully named Miss Grace's Lane. This is the first time in my 11 years that I have been along this stretch and I am rewarded with the only unfound cache of the day.

Everything is in order - the stone tree, The timeless views, the Geocache - that I complete a TB swap over at and then have to explain Geocaching to our friendly family who re-appeared from a short cut.
