Distance - 10.3 Miles
Walk Inspiration
First Cache
You might be mistaken for thinking that the Banbury Fringe is a comedy event run by students. It's actually a 10 mile way-marked walk, circling the town, completed on green lanes, footpaths and canal towpaths.
And Grange Road Dragons have kindly laid a rather huge Geocaching Trail.
Way Marking on the Fringe. A Geocache. |
Number 1 in the series is near the canal, with no way of parking - so I follow the advice given by the walking leaflet and park in White Posts Road in the rather charming, two pub village of Bodicote.
Just as I am getting booted up, I spy three gentlemen, armed with Garmins and paying far too much attention to a street sign. Reading's top caching team are out in force and they're dead professional. They have a stamp and everything.
I need to upgrade my caching kit |
Look forward to your logs chaps and to see if you had the same couple of DNF as myself. And if you DNF any, it wasn't my fault. I left them all exactly as I found them :-)
The walking is straightforward - head down the Salt Way - an ancient track running from London to not far from my house in Droitwich.

Neddy, laughing at my attempts at finding this cache. |
Only two DNF on the whole route for me and of course, they come in quick succession. A good hunt for #26 and #27 but no joy. I will see if six eyes prove better than two, when the logs come in. At least it is fine walking.
Good Walking in DNF Alley |
Guess what is on that Bridge. Yep, a Geocache. |
Those crazy bargers |

A Fitting End to the best Caching day of 2017 |
