The sat nav was reliable today and got me to Black Hill car park via a road so narrow that the hedgerows either side brushed against the car and there was the little strip of grass in the middle of the road which I hoped indicated infrequent use.

Today was one of my ‘dizziest’ expeditions for a long time. For the valley series of caches I seemed to be going around in circles always choosing the wrong path, my GPS doesn’t seem to function well with Cornish co-ordinates. Out of 30 possible caches on my list I ended up with 15. I cut my walk short because I’d taken so long to do the valley caches and yet at the end of it all my phone app told me I’d walked 17 miles! The whole route was only going to be 8 max, and whilst I said I went around in circles it wasn’t quite that much. No, the only logical explanation is that I was what I believe is called pixie-led.

After the valley experience I did get to pick up a few of the Halo caches; had a glimpse of the Gribbin and got inside an adit. I was pleased to get that one as I thought it might be a problem being by myself with a dog but Ebony was happy to come inside too.

So all in all a good day out caching and as this is only an hours drive from Plymouth I will probably return for another attempt at some more of the Halo caches.
