I got up early and arrived at a decent parking point at around 7am to start the walk.
I started off the day visiting a solved puzzle and then on to 2 Wychwood caches which were all quick finds and put me in the mood for the day. I carried on and then got to the first series of the day.
Copt heath by hobzie

A small series of 6 caches set around Copt Heath golf club, taking in almost 2 miles.
The terrain and caches were nice and easy and set in a linear fashion and in no time at all the series was in the bag.....
I carried on with the walk but working my way back round to almost where I had began and took in a few caches until I reached second series of the day......

A Webbie Walk by The Webbies
http://coord.info/GC33B5J
A walk of approximately 4.5 miles with 14 caches between Knowle and Barston, taking you along parts of the Grand Union canal and the surrounding countryside.
This really was a very nice walk in a lovely area. All of the caches were relatively easy to find although I did need to PAF Allun (Shropshire Seekers) on one of them.

| Lovely area not far from cache I needed a PAF on! |
The weather was pretty good and totally dry which always makes the walk more enjoyable, oh and some of the houses were so beautiful with the owners having cars to also match their status.....ie Ferrari and Porsches.
Whilst doing the walk there were a few other caches on route which of course would've been rude to omit.

Well this fantastic walk had to come to an end, so it was back to the car and off to do some more.
I had some time to spare before meeting up with caching partner Jules so I did some drive by's and a puzzle series by the Webbies ..... Architectural Britain
I had solved the puzzles at home and today I collected them....well I almost missed one but got there in the end.

| Not really a spoiler but Architectural Britain series was here.... |
Early in the afternoon was time to go and meet caching partner Jules, so I drove over to meet her to have a gander at a couple more Special Ops caches by AirEd this time.
Special Ops Oscar

We had already completed all the Special Ops to date except for 2 by AirEd and 1 by Homer Trackers, so today we wanted to get the AirEd ones.
We parked up opposite this one and we had a good idea on which tree we needed to climb but could not see any sign of the cache so decided that as we were both not fantastic tree climbers that we would call a finder just to confirm that we had the correct tree....while we were doing this we walked down the canal to do some puzzle caches and another trad.
After Paul (Soapy Chickens) had confirmed we had correct tree Jules did the honours in climbing up to retrieve cache and then I myself climbed up too....I only did it as it wasn't as high as I thought it might be.
After completing this mission we moved on to the next one....
Special Ops Romeo

We repositioned car for this next challenge which this time involved going into water, hence the requirement of specialist equipment.
This one was soon complete but a lot of fun.
Just one more to do now but that can wait till another day...
Another brilliant day complete. I have took in a very scenic series, had lots of fun on a couple of "more to it" and got some good numbers.
Total smilies today = 51
