Geocaching Number 2: Mission Impossible I - In Search of The Raven
Firstly, Mark and I have decided to continue our religious debate from previous posts via email and not on our blogs. We both agree that this is not the kind of content we think our readers (if only I was that lucky!) would want to read. If you do want to know how we are getting on - please get in touch and we’ll forward our discussions to you.
On Thursday evening, C and I drove down to Steyning in W.Sussex to visit her parents. Every Easter their Church has a Good Friday walk, and despite taking part last year, I had completely forgotten about it. It seems that 10 miles rambling over the South Downs was more than enough exercise for me! Even though I picked up a rather nasty blister and discovered that I really do need some new walking boots, I was relieved to find that I wasn’t quite as unfit as previously thought. Phew…
On Sunday afternoon we thought we’d round off a great Easter holiday with Geocaching venture number 2: Mission Impossible I - In Search of The Raven near Chanctonbury Ring. This was supposed to be a quick walk, but turned out to be a lot more effort that we had thought. It would have helped though if we had read the instructions properly before leaving the house! Duh!
Anyway, I took these photos along the way:
A dewpond:
I really love the dark looming clouds in this one. Most of the scenic photos I was taking were very dull, so I tried underexposing and this was the result. Nice!
Two male pheasants…
Finally after a good couple of hours we found the cache! NB The GPS handheld (GARMIN GPS38) that we have borrowed is very old and proves very hard to use near buildings and large hills. This made the achievement of finding this cache nearly impossible (*cough* I mean challenging! :))
Goodies…
And our first travel bug… next stop Oxfordshire…
