I came to Clifton Country Park to do a spot of birdwatching and especially to see the red-headed Smew which is fairly rare around these parts.
The lake was largely frozen except for the part in front of the viewing platform and that's where all the birds had gathered, including the Smew. So, after half an hour of taking photos and chatting with fellow birders, I set off to find the cache.
I could soon see the 'Lookout' sculpture from the path and so headed towards it for a look round GZ. It took me longer than it should have done because I was undecided about which mass of fallen leaves to start looking under first.
Luckily I know the names of some trees and so I eventually picked the right one to investigate and soon I had the cache container in my hand.
What a great little place this is with free parking and a nice visitor's centre. I'll definitely be coming back to have a look round the Wet Earth Colliery industrial archaeology site here.
