22/04/18 - Geocaching in Brailes

Distance - 7 Miles
Geocaches - 21
First Cache


Mrs M is working in Stratford-upon-Avon.  A scene of two of my walks this year already, so I headed further afield to look for a caching trail.

I wasn't going to blog today but the walking is so spectacular that I felt the need to share my photos.  A gorgeous circuit of Brailes Hill, providing superb views across Warwickshire.   Good footpaths, little mud and sheep the occasional lifestock.

The caching is perfect.  7 miles, parking co-ordinates provided, a bonus to identify from letter clues in each cache and hides that aren't simply signposted in the hints.  I say this, having failed to find the 1st on the trail.  I do get the bonus.

Here's what awaits.

Superb Round - Thanks to the CO Griff Grof 

But I know what you're thinking.... where's the post walk real ale.

Mrs M is picked up bang on the allotted time and we stop off at the home of the Archers in Inkberrow.

The Old Bull is a perfect country pub - worthy of a coach load of pensioners coming for a Archers themed visit and not worrying about the personal space of patiently waiting diners.

London Pride in fair condition.
