Caches - Found - 39
First Cache
Pub - The Bridge Inn, Brewood
Geocaching numbers for August were looking fairly pathetic. Another case of work getting in the way of life. Fortunately, with the late summer bank holiday weekend, there is a chance to rectify some of the damage.
I've had my eye on this 40 Cache Trail in Brewood, Staffordshire, since it was published a couple of years ago.
It ticks all the required boxes for a lengthy Caching Trail.
Interesting Village - You can feel the history dripping out of Brewood, a place that I've not previously visited. I don't think there are two buildings the same. Two Churches, with the Church of St Mary and St Chad dominating the landscape on the early part of the walk.

Great Paths - Not only do I get the a couple of stretches along the Shropshire Union Canal, the Staffordshire Way and the Monarchs Way are also picked up. County long distance paths are usually in good condition and the Staffs Way was no exception. A really good walk, as well as a caching round.

A Country Lane down to The Hattons |
Crossing the Avenue twice on the walk. A one mile drive to Chillington Hall |
Easy Caching. Man in Blue may have been a cacher - he's coming from #3 |
All quiet on the Staffs Way - No one can see you dress up in cache contents |
The Bridge Inn |
Thwaites Lancaster Bomber |
Marstons pub, with an admittedly high number of their regular brews. The Lancaster Bomber was in good condition but it had to be drawn out, as the sandwich took 35 minutes to turn up.
I notice there's another caching loop North from Brewood. I'll add that to the "To Do" list for a future low scoring caching month.
Thanks to the The Washers UK for the placing and maintenance of a top round.
