Distance - 5 Miles
Geocaches - 26
In an optimistic moment before the announcement of the 2nd great pub lock down, I booked myself into Gloucester's Premier Inn with the aim of getting a few new Good Beer Guide ticks.
Its still going ahead, even if I will be comfortably in bed for Match of the Day 2.
To make a day of it, I planned a bonus tick at Leighterton's Royal Oak. It makes a handy start for a 5 mile round of 26 Geocaches and I will pay for my parking by having a post walk lunch.
The caching couldn't be any more straightforward. Out of the village, along lanes, some 7ft crops to negotiate and a free entry into Westonbirt Arboretum.

It was also the day after the great Geocaching fight back against the lock-down happened. We want to be free, to do what we've got to do, and we want to Geocache.

| Only 6 people are allowed to Geocache |
Thanks to dasie19 & Artorius70 for a nice walk and a well maintained series of caches.
Back to the Royal Oak - in all its Cotswold stoned loveliness. There's a reason the car park was still empty on my 1:40pm return.
