A Walk With St. Lawrence

Trad: 7
Walked: 3.2 miles

I headed over to St. Lawrence Bay today to look for a series of hides along the sea wall. The afternoon started off sunny, although the wind was rather keen in places!

Being close to the Winter Solstice, the light didn’t last very long. The golden grasses were soon illuminated by orange light from the fading sun.

The sunset happened at about the time I had just turned from the furthest point from the car, heading back. The clouds were rather good too.

Having had a DNF on a tricky D4 hide on the way out (think tupperware box under a pile of rocks), I finally bagged the tricky blighter by torchlight on the return leg. Hurrah!

Another enjoyable Winter walk.

Cold, Colder, Coldest

Trad: 5
Walked: 1.8 miles

A set of five new “Cold” caches by nathanjhunt have recently been published near Cold Norton, so today I thought I would head over there for a walk. First up was Cold Shoulder.

Next it was Cold Feet. But luckily not for me, although the lane was muddy I had wellies and thick socks on, so the only cold feet was the name of the cache.

Cold Blood was the alarming name of the next hide, but nothing gruesome came to light, just more mud!

If I had had enough of caching, I would have gone Cold Turkey. But I hadn’t and I did.

Last in the line, with the longest name, was Cold Enough To Freeze The Balls Off A Brass Monkey. Thankfully no monkeys were harmed in the finding of this cache!

A Brace Of Nathan’s

Trad: 2
Walked: 2 miles

Just time for a couple of caches today, both hidden by nathanjhunt. The first was the Village Sign in Stow Maries. It’s rather nice design reflects the area’s history and WWI Airfield nearby.

Then I moved on to Cold Norton to avenge a previous DNF at Palepit Corner, a tricky little blighter but at least I didn’t get muggled before I’d even looked this time!

Day #358 – Professor Provolone’s Picto-Puzzle

Puzzle: 1
Walked: 0.7 miles

I’ve been appallingly lazy today. Not even walked a mile! Basically, because I’ve been sat on my bum all day conjuring up evil puzzles for my Brains Not Brawn series. By this evening, I was going stir-crazy and needed to get out to find something – so it was a cash and dash from the car to find nathanjhunt’s Futurama-themed puzzle near Mundon. I had solved it a few weeks ago, but not really been in the area since.

Day #306 – Dengie Driving

Trad: 8 Multi: 1
Walked: 4.0 miles

My ankle is feeling a lot better but I decided on more drive-bys around Dengie this evening just to be on the safe side. I managed a good number of finds, including a couple of Village Signs:

VS North Fambridge

VS Althorne

I made a bit of a cache and hash of K6 Althorne Station, getting the calculations for the multi wrong TWICE! What a dunce. Got there in the end, though!

This cheeky find was one of a new series by nathanjhunt called Roadside Revelations. Ha ha!
