4th cache visted today with sarahjones65. This one was just round the corner from the last, but the road traffic was awful due to local football matches, so it took longer to get there that we'd hoped.
We pulled into a small side street and saw the house immediately - it sort of stood out. There's a nameplate over the door announcing the house as 'Pennijar Cottage' and a travel bug number in the window tells those who know that it's a trackable item! We don't think it will clock up many miles though, unless some American with too much money decides to move it brick by brick!
We could hear the dogs barking inside the house but saw no sign of them or the owner, unless it was him in the car that pulled off shortly after we arrived. We tried to look inconspicuous as our eyes searched the garden for the cache which it said could be reached without entering. By now there were others in the street watching us - they must know about this by now we thought.
There was an old traffic cone inside some vegetation near the wall, and so I leant over and lifted it up to hopefully find the cache underneath - nope, too obvious! Sarah had previously spotted a rock on a piece of slate in the other corner of the garden, but she couldn't reach it. I leant over to move the rock and look under the slate and find the cache - not here either!
So I put the slate back first and then the rock and was just going to look somewhere else when I thought - hang on a minute, that rock was a bit light! Ahh - there's the cache. Another very crafty one!
We moved away from the house to sign the log book on a nearby wall and we swapped a small rubber skull for a Paul Robinson footballing coin. And then, when the coast was clear, I replaced the cache and hurried back to the car, hoping not to cause to much of a stir.
