Hobditch Hunt by Butttercup & Stormystorm

Hobditch Hunt – a series of 40 caches over a 9 - 10 miles walk around the Warwickshire countryside just north of Ullenhall. Walking is mostly easy except for one short steep bank, the caches were well varied in size with some sneaky hides too.

| A Misty start. |
Tony and I parked up on a grass triangle at a road junction by cache #38 and made our way to cache #1 to meet Shan and Andy. Funnily enough we passed #39 & 40 on the way and it would've been rude not to look. We had no real problems at either but I think that was down to Tony.
As we arrived near path to #1 we could hear Shan & Andy on their way and then spotted geopup Tia, we all had Shanhugs and then began the trail.

The caches on this series were varied in size from nano's to regular's. I enjoyed some of the nicely crafted ones and there we also some sneaky hides.
I think my faves were HH05 - Just another one, HH28 - Meet her here? & HH35 - Chicken Run
but saying that there were many other great ones.

| Strange people! |

| Andy returns from bagging the cache! |
On our way round we thought we may bump into some other cachers as this was a new series and just as we were arriving at HH22 - London Underground we bumped into Mike (HKMHill), we all enjoyed some geochat and a few photos together. Also just as we were finishing the walk/series we bumped into BaggieDave and had some more chat, it's always fun meeting people.

| The gang with Mike! |
At one point during the morning all 4 of us stripped down to just a t-shirt...fantastic for the time of year, a lovely sunny day too. It really feels that spring is beginning to kick in nicely.

| Just check my Oregon is ok! |
Whilst doing this great series we also included the Wild Britain series by The Webbies , they were not too far away but they do need solving before you go out caching, there are 5 caches in that series. We also solved and included another cache which wasn't much of a diversion, again this was a cache by The Webbies named Happy Birthday Master Webbie!
All in all a fab mornings caching was had with plenty of mischief....mainly down to the Shanimal I might add!!!
We managed to bag 47 smilies
After saying goodbye to everyone I met up with Jules to do a few caches on way home. First was a puzzle one which she had already solved. Not on the Map! by Homer Trackers it was in an interesting location too and a great container. We then moved on to Southcrest Wood and picked up the three caches in there, one of them being named after one of my fave bands...Black Sabbath!
It was nice to grab a few on way home and add a few more to the tally
Total caches bagged today = 51
so I opted to retrieve the mouse part of the cache which is the one to tell you to climb higher, I did redeem myself however by climbing up the tree to put the actual cache back because I am not a wuss!!!!
