200!
Its been a couple of weeks since I thought I had got to 200 and hadn't. With the aid of Stormcat and Arrks, the total had risen to 197 found and I just had three more to do and today was the day.
I decided to head off to (hilly) Buxton and do a couple of caches there and then head to Cheshire's Highest Cache for the 200th.
Back of Macc Forest was the first find which was straight up a hill and then back down to the carpark. Not too steep, but uphill all the way.
Lightly Wooded Walk was next with a short steep walk, which I don't think is quite what the cache owner had in mind, but I did discover the lightly wooded wood on the way back, along with a "house" in the middle of the trees and several peat bogs.
Cheshire's Highest Cache was the final cache and a very rewarding cache. Had to wait for ages for other walkers to disappear who were sheltering from the wind just down the stone wall from where I was.
Now I'm sitting at home nursing the blisters - but happy.
Congratulate me here
