Geocaches - 34
First Geocache
Play Misty for Me |
Think on. In the course of this decent Geocaching round in the Cotswolds, I was muggled by the following;
- Jogging ladies in dayglo lycra
- Cyclists
- Kamikaze farmers in battered Land Rovers
- More sedate farmers hand feeding two sheep
- Various dog walkers, including the one with a cross between a husky, staffordshire bull terrier and a border collie. This was one dog. No, I'm not sure how it was created either. It did have odd coloured eyes. I asked if it was named Bowie. It wasn't.
- Americans. On Horseback.
- Another family of Geocachers (Nice to meet you, Carylr and Otterholic)
There is no need for the CO to panic. With the exception of the last category, no-one else quite saw what I was up to.
The conditions didn't really lend itself to the walk. I saw little. I photographed less. The Geocache trail is perfectly executed - all nice and easy to find and a satisfying bonus to solve by paying particular attention to caches #5 and #23.

The Roundabout |
I'm delivered back into Avening at 12:15pm and with a change of footwear, I can investigate post walk refreshment.
There may be two pubs in Avening. The Queen Matilda is named after the William the Conqueror's wife, who stole the land from a previous suitor, who spurned her advances. In a previous life, it used to be a pub - with the Cross Inn proudly adorned on its flanks. It now appears to be a luxury Bed and Breakfast, although the large number of barrels outside suggest all is not lost.

Four real ales on - and as I am in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds, I maintained loyalty with a Wickwar Bob. The brewery is near by. I found it on a walk last year.
