The Spoodle's Last Day

We've been looking after a rather rotund dog while it's owners spend 2 weeks in Egypt. It's something of a cross between a Spaniel and a Poodle, so I assume it's a Spoodle (I could be wrong, it could be a pedigree for all I know).




Sunday was it's last day with us, so we decided to take advantage of some more good weather and headed up to the Peak District for some walking, and of course some geocaching!

Stoney Middleton was our destination, a place that was host to the very first episode of Most Haunted. We parked up near to The Moon pub, where they held a nightime vigil...and most likely discovered absolutely nothing as per, but that scouse fellow probably fainted at some point anyway.....

From Stoney Middleton, we headed in a vague south-westerly direction to do the Quarry Caper series of 14 caches, and a few more along the way.

A cracking walk is was too, although we had to wait until cache No.9 of the day before we actually saw the quarry!

The final Trad cache before the bonus involved walking (or should I say climbing) a really steep bank through some woods, luckily it was fairly dry, it would have been impossible in the wet!

After finding all the main caches, we worked out the Bonus cache coordinates, thinking that the worst of the terrain was behind us, only to have to battle through waist high nettles and thorns for a quarter of a mile to get to the bonus cache.... at least it was a decent sized ammo can!

A cracking day out!

Caches found at time of posting...2223.
