Hooked a duck

Julia of the Bedfords had a couple of hours spare and wanted to go and bag some more caches from the Sedgley Stroll series. So as I only needed a few more to complete the series it was an easy decision to make.....Let's go for it.

A big reason for the return was the intrigue around a cache named "Hook a duck". We really wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
We parked up on the estate close to the cache "Holly and the Ivy" and set off once again into the cold, there was still lots of ice and snow covering the ground so it was quite slippy too. We found first cache quickly and then carried on to Hook a duck! We took the over a fence through some brambles and branches approach and eventually got to GZ.....We spotted the cache straightaway, it was just a matter of retrieving it from 20-30ft up a tree. Without giving too much away, it was completed with some nearby specialist equipment.....A very fun cache.

We moved on now to the remaining caches of the series which were on public foothpaths at the side of fields. There were some more nice hides and a good walk to go along with it.

Thats it for me on this series but it was very enjoyable, I completed it in 3 attempts in the early morning, afternoon and in the dark by torchlight.
Thanks Kaye and Dave.

Julia and myself had arranged to do a nightcache tonight so after both going home for some tea and home duties, we met up again around 7pm-ish.


The First Hamster Night Cache!!! by SPIKE09-123

We set off from the meeting point in my car and headed off just past Bewdley to some woods near Button Oak. I had planned to do this nightcache in December but unfortunately I had to pull out at the last minute due to illness.
We parked up at the car park and as we donned extra layers Julia flashed her new torch and spotted first marker even before we were ready to set off.
It was very slippy in places due to it being very cold and ice and snow still laying on the ground.
The trail from the car and back to the car took us just short of 90 minutes, the markers were pretty good and evenly spaced out. The terrain wasn't too bad but there were a few slopes to get up in places.
As we approached GZ there were several markers next to each other and the find was easy...A nice sized Ammo can.

Found it!

Found it!

After a few photos we followed some yellow markers which took us on a more direct route back to the car. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience and great to add another to the list.

Well thats the end of the smilies for me today, however I did take Julia to do the Cash cache series by maxtrev.

Total caches for day  =  10
