Worsley Walkabout


2nd cache today with sarahjones65. After a pleasant walk along the Bridgewater canal from the previous cache site, we passed the Packet House, crossed over the little humpbacked bridge and walked into Worsley Green.

We walked up to the main road, crossed over and started up the hill where the sign pointed to Worsley Woods before quickly realising this wasn't the correct path - no problem, we hadn't gone far. We turned around and strolled towards the delph, where the Bridgewater canal goes underground. The leafy stepped woodland path was just to the right of this area. We quickly found the broken wall mentioned in the clue, and started to hunt around it.

After fifteen minutes we still hadn't found the cache and thoughts of giving up entered our minds. I had definitely had enough when I thought I'd found the cache in a little black bag amongst the rocks, only to realise it was some pooperscooper's doggy bag which had been thrown over the wall - thanks mate!

Then Sarah put on her cacher's head and eyes, and started to look a little further afield. Within a few minutes she had found it, although I have to say the clue wasn't particularly accurate or much help. We signed the logbook, dropped off a small skull and took a small action figure, before Sarah relocated the cache where she had found it.
