I can see Cleobury now the rain has gone

I spent today in the lovely town of Cleobury Mortimer, yet another place that is close to my heart. I parked up behind the High Street and met up with Jules of the Bedfords, for a change haha.

We started off doing a cache under scrutiny of CCTV in hope that it would be easier. Fortunately it was easy but can see why other cachers didn't like doing it. We then carried on down the high street to start on a small series.

Brakspear's River Rea Ramble by SPIKE09-123

A series of 12 caches along the River Rea and The Jack Mytton Way, with another cache a small diversion away. These are a variety of sizes from magnetic nanos to small. The micro and small caches contain log books, pencils and small swaps. The total distance to do all 12 is around 5.5 miles, mostly on public footpaths, a small portion on quiet country roads - caution is still needed ! This is a fab walk for geohounds but remember it is farming land - please keep your dog on a lead when around livestock.

Is that a bridge? nope it's a fallen tree!

We  started at number 12 as it was on the high street and then made our way to number 1.
This was a nice peaceful series but 2 of the caches  numbers 4 and 7 claim to have bonus caches , but there are no such caches published, they are both Nano's  with coords in for a tupperware container with logbook......So really they should be multi's rather than trads.

 The weather was good and walking was pretty easy going, now we are off to the Cafe for a warm drink each and I had a bacon, sausage and egg sandwich......yummy.

We bagged 13 out of the 13 available here.

We sat on a bench while I ate lovely sandwich and drunk coffee, while Jules drunk her tea.... we then headed off to do a walk on opposite side of road consisting of 3 caches.


Cleobury Country Wanderings by SPIKE09-123

A short walk  of 3 caches through open access land near the River Rea. Some stiles not very dog friendly. There is an egg farm near Cleobury Wandering 3 where you can buy free range eggs.

All the caches were found no problems and the walk was really enjoyable with some nice scenery along the way, infact we sat on a bench for a good while just listening to river flow and taking in scenery while Jules scoffed her lunch.

Follow us chicks hehe

Well eventually we moved on back towards the car walking through a field of lots of new friends hehe.  3 out of a possible 3 caches on this walk.




Total caches found today = 17.
