25/09/16 - Wormington Geocaching

Distance - 5.65 Miles
Geocaches - 16
First Cache




After a night on the Cheltenham tiles, we needed some fresh air and exercise.  The Geocaching numbers for September were also pretty low.

Wormington is not far from Cheltenham.  At least not when the half marathon is not running.  It took us roughly 50% more miles to arrive in the village, struggling with the many road closures.

I know the area well, having walked this part of the Cotswolds frequently.  However, I haven't been to Wormington.  Maybe its because there is no pub.

The cache trail is just short of 6 miles and is along decent tracks in fine countryside.  No climbs or descents and decent views of the nearby hills.

We only had trouble with a couple of caches - one, where we were bothered by cows - even after Mrs Mappiman armed herself with a stick - and one where there's been a number of DNF and we Did Not Look.  Just the one cache had a unsignable log - photo evidence provided.

Thanks to Stretchy123 for setting up a caching trail that was perfect for our needs.
