For Judy & I caching comes in two different flavours, those we do together with Tigger, sticking to footpaths wherever possible, and those I do alone! Today was definitely a boys only day as I attempted to explore a new, most remote part of the south moor. The motivation was the two new caches there and the chance to plant a couple of my own, including my first challenge cache.
My route took me from Whiteworks over Fox Tor, via Caters beam to Green Hill. Not much on Green Hill so I wandered even further away to Fishlake Mire to place my first cache. Another cache placed on Blacklane Brook and return to the car via Ducks’ Pool. A great day out on the very wet moor, with 2 finds and 2 places, but the weather was kind and I saw not another sole in a trek of 8 miles, almost all “off piste”.
8 miles around here feels more like 16 miles. Most of it is that dry tall grass and bog.
