White Coppice Gorge - GC19PMM

This was the first of the day whilst out with sarahjones65 and on our way to drop off a NW 2009 Racer Travel Bug higher up the gorge. We parked someway down the lane leading to the cricket club, and when we got to the pitch the preparations for a match had already started.

We skirted round the pitch and past the pavilion to get to noticeboard at GZ where Sarah took down the required information. We needed a photo in Black Brook Gorge, which was handy as we were on our way up the gorge to get to the next cache. The trouble was, we weren't exactly sure which bit was Black Brook, so we took loads of photos everywhere.

On our way back (after visiting the other cache) we had a look down the other footpath towards Anglezarke reservoir. Sarah had been convinced that this was where Black Brook gorge was even though I kept telling her it wasn't! She did find a good tree to hide in though.

At the end of our walk we stopped and watched the cricket match for a while whilst enjoying a cracking cup of tea and a piece of cake from the pavilion shop. A great way to end a caching trip - there should be one of these at every cache location.

White Coppice is a great place and we took a list of cricket fixtures so that we could return for a match in the height of the summer, to hear the sound of leather on willow and eat cucumber sandwiches. We'll also be returning to see the famous icicles when the weather is cold and frosty - just as I like it!
