A Small Series 2 - Splinter - GC2N7HP

This should have been the second cache of the day but it turned out to be the last on our renewed exploits in geocaching today. Sarah and I don't like DNF's, they really spoil our trips and so after spending 15 minutes looking for this one the first time, we inevitably came back for a second look before going home.

Our first foray in this area had led to me getting scratched on the forehead by a very sharp hawthorne branch as well as becoming entangled in creeping brambles which I HATE!. This in turn led to foul tempers and so we moved on quickly to the next location.

A little before our return we met fellow cacher Tech17 (Andy) at another cache location - it seems that he'd been about 15 minutes behind us in doing this series today. He'd already found this one and so gave us some serious hints as to where it was - which was actually in a place we'd been looking earlier. If we'd read the description a little more carefully, I think we would have probably found it unaided - the title really says it all. It's an excellent hiding place - so sneaky I've made it one of my favourites.

Anyway, job done we chatted with Andy about geocaching, ham radio, Chirp and other things before returning home for a little brunch. Great series.
