06/08/18 - Snowshill Geocaching and the Crown and Trumpet, Broadway

Distance - 3 Miles
Geocaches - 11
First Geocache


A 3 mile, 11 cache trail called "Summer Nights", starting in one of the most picturesque villages in the UK?   Don't mind if I do....  Almost seems purpose designed for a warm August monday evening.

I think its good for the soul to have an annual visit to Snowshill.  There's superb walking in the area - the usual classic route taking in Stanton and Stanway.   Today's walk starts from the free car park and completes a small up and down circuit of the valley - leaving you back in the village for post walk refreshments at the Snowshill Arms - provided you are there after 6pm during the midweek.

The caches are gloriously easy - especially when the Dutch muggles at cache 1 have finished taking photos of sheep.   They don't have those in Holland, you know.

Here's the photo story...

Shame about the Snowshill Arms - even with the time delay of finding a couple of multi-caches, we still had 15 minutes to wait till it opened.

No hardship - the Good Beer Guide Crown and Trumpet in Broadway is just 10 minutes away.

It's been blogged before but what a classic pub.... timeless beauty.
