At the last minute, Julie's son Jon, and his girlfriend, Anna, decided to tag along. Anna was quite excited about the prospect of find "treasure"; I told her not to get her hopes up!
After an uneventful one and a half hour car drive, we arrived in Newtown just about 10.00am, and it wasn't raining.
I had a string of 6 caches pretty much in a line heading north-east from Newtown along part of the the Severn Way (which, incidentally, does not appear to be on the Garmin Topo map of the UK....).
First up, Hendidley 2 (The "Organite" Cache), which is a fairly new cache, with a few recent finds. Four of us failed miserably, but there was a rope swing for us to play on!
We managed to find the rest of the caches without diffculty, and even managed to dodge the odd short shower.
Jon and Anna were surveying the route back to Newtown as it started to rain.
Near to the end, the heavens opened, and we were all soaked through by the time we got back to the car, so we abandoned the idea of grabbing the 3 caches near the town centre, and started to make our way home.
An enjoyable few hours nonetheless, with some good views along the way.
Caches found at time of posting......2387
