If it takes on average 5 minutes to find and log a cache and there are 50 caches, that is 250 minutes or over 4 hours! If the walk is 10 miles at an average of 2.5 mph, that’s over 8 hours in total! Much longer than most would image to walk 10 miles. And yes, Tigger does get very bored if we hang around for too long looking for caches. We would prefer to have to find less caches of a better and less repetitive nature.

It was only recently that I realised such caching existed after discovering there was a loop of around 150 north of Barnstaple, though I’ve yet to try it! My caching canine loves a long walk but she does get bored when the caches are too close together and we have all the stopping and starting that is involved. I wonder what Tigger made of it?

The Luxulyan valley looks amazing, and I think that would be my first choice to try. Thanks for putting the time it took for you to complete the walk too. My predictions of how long I’m going to be out caching are sometimes way off as I forget to consider the time it takes to stop, find and sign a log, and with a large quantity of caches this soon mounts up.

I hope you all enjoyed your trip!
