Geocaches - 19
Pubs - Separate Blog
Previous Stages - Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4, Stage 5
After a September that was too busy to fit in my monthly HOEW walk, I am back in October. A relatively easy train journey means that I can double up on pleasures big time. There are four Good Beer Guide Ticks to be had in Lichfield.
First the walking. This is a fine circular trail, heading southwards out of the City. A couple of miles of street/back alleys and canal restoration projects. New pavement mounted signage shows the way.

I'm out in the countryside, on good bridle ways with fine views over Staffordshire.

Views over the Pig Farm to Knox's Grave Lane |
High proportion of Geocaches on route - including a taster of the Lichfield Extreme Caching Organisation (L.E.G.O) hides. Their motif is a sinisterly nailed lego figure at GZ.
Knowing I was at GZ made for easier finds. Tricky cache returned to rightful location. |
No danger of being cudgeled today but there are other threats. Hopwas Hays wood is now a military firing range. I could have phone in advance to see if they were on operations, but decided Saturdays should be fine.
I was right... the red light wasn't flashing |
Footpath goes across the actual firing range |
Let the pub ticking commence.
