Last week saw a foray into the Cotswolds for the first time since March 2007. Coincidentally, the geocaching action took place less than a coupke of miles from my only previous find in the area, at Broadway Tower. The focus of the week was strictly family / social, so geocaching was kept to the lowest possible profile. However, 2 caches were found early on in the week with the little one in tow on a beautiful morning hike in the new "Vamoose" carrier which was recently obtained.

She is seen (below) getting to grips with "The wool trade 4" cache, overlooking Snowshill. Another cache was obtained during a quiet daytime moment, and the remaining 2 caches were found on a covert nightime operation under moonlight.

I had only hoped for a single token cache on this holiday trip, so to bag all 5 targets in very limited "cache and dash" circumstances was remarkably good - and surprisingly beat my combined Colwyn Bay / St Asaph trip, for which I had noted the co-ords for anything up to 20 caches! Funny old game.
