This was to be my third and last cache of the day before returning home to watch Man U play Crawley in the FA Cup. I took the advice mentioned in the description and walked up Mill Brow from the main road - it's been many years since I last came this way as a kid. I looked with envy at the fantastic white cottages on the left side of the lane all the way up to Worsley Woods.
Once in the Woods I reached GZ much more quickly than I had expected and the coordinates were pretty much spot on. As I approached I thought I had spotted a likely place but the GPSr suggested otherwise, and it was right.
The going was quite slippy and needed a stretch to get the container out of it's 'rotten' hiding place. WARNING: Don't be tempted to pickup any small blue or black bags anywhere near here - you know why!
After signing the log I had a look round the area, including walking up to Warke Dam where I met a fellow birdwatcher looking though his binoculars at the water. Like me he'd seen some Teal and Mallard, but he'd also seen a Cormorant which I'd missed. He told me that there were also lots of Nuthatches past the old house a little further into the Woods - I'll be coming back to look for those sometime soon.
After a nice chat we both went our separate ways to watch the match, where the score was 1-0 to Man Utd's second team. Come on you Reds!
