Cointown Geocoin

Cointown geocoin


A midday start saw me and K head over the beacons for a wonderful day out in Herefordshire.

First stop, though, was Tack Woods just up the hill from Hay-on-Wye on the Welsh side of the border.

We stopped and had our baguettes as I fiddled with the GPSr and wondered about how to get into the heavily guarded woodlands.

K suggested we just follw the path round the woods and we very quickly got to the cache site which was in a field just by the woods. Quicker than expected. Cleared away the stones and found the 'Tack Wood' cache - including the Cointown geocoin (pictured, at the cache site) which was the main objective of this hunt.

Drove on then to the main part of the day - Court Farm Tillington for some pick your own berries (and tea and cake!). Spent a good couple of hours in there and messed around on the trampoline afterwards.

I noticed on the GPSr that we were only 0.7m from the 'Bankside Box' so on our way home we stopped there and picked up the Krusty the Clown travelbug, who needs to get to a 'Springfield' of any description. 10 caches in 2 weeks - that's as many as TCA2006 has done in 3 years...
