We came from WWB 10 and although we could see Public Footpath signs we couldn't always make out the route across the farmer's fields. Eventually we just decided to head for the road, as you don't generally get primary schools in the middle of a field.
Once on the road the GPSr recalculated the route and we found that we were naturally heading in the right direction. Soon the school came into view and we'd cracked it. I could see the date we needed from a way off and Sarah found the phone number on a poster outside the main gates. Sarah did the puzzle and came up with the coordinates which pointed along a nearby footpath and so this seemed right.
Whilst walking along this path we had a great view of a sparrowhawk circling round and being surrounded by ten or so much smaller birds. Then all of a sudden the sparrowhawk swooped down as if to go for one if the smaller birds, but it didn't seem to get it and so continued soaring and eventually went out of sight. So the new pair of lightweight binoculars I'd bought for Sarah and given her this morning came in really useful here, but read what happens in WWB 14.
We went back to the primary school and sat down on the bench outside the main entrance to have a cup of coffee from our flask whilst enjoying the view and planning the next cache.
