Last for the day 7:10pm

Been on the to do list for a while now, not easy to drag Kathy to Church… even if it’s only for Geocaching. Kathy spotted it and signaled it was my job to fetch it. Nice quiet little spot, odd building mix of old and new.

Nice BIG cache, the kind we like to see makes a great little travel bug swap stop.

6pm and the second for today :)

drove around once before deciding where the entrance was finally made our way in…
… after seeing all the tree cover I was not optimistic of my GPS, thankfully the clue and some lucky guess work paid off :)

The end of our day (Coffee flask ran out ).

Wrong side of river and not dressed for a night time river crossing! not dressed for the alternate route either as it happened, field so water logged should have just jumped in the river!

Soggy socks and 6 of KiwiLeon caches off the list (with 2 more a near miss due to muggles), thanks for the day out
