It's Raining Kippers ..... GCT0JY

This was to be the second and last cache of the day whilst out with sarahjones65 on a mission to drop off a NW 2009 Racer Travel Bug at one of the required caches. We'd just done the EarthCache at White Coppice Gorge and carried on to do this one as most people do.

We've had this Racer TB for more than a while (sorry) and had not got round to finding a good place to leave it, as it had quite a large model car attached to it and wouldn't fit in any of the containers we've found recently. So we decided to go for broke and drop it off directly at one of the places it needed to go, as we thought the container here must surely be big enough to hold a few caches for the race.

Initially I was a little concerned about the terrain which was described as being uphill, in a gorge, needing some scrambling and having steep drops. However, I needn't have worried - the walk up the gorge was very interesting and not too demanding for my old bones. I took it easy and really enjoyed it.

We did go a little further up the gorge that necessary and had to backtrack to cross the stream at a suitable place. Once on the other side, we scrambled up some tufty grass and a few rocks and were soon heading towards GZ.

The cache was found fairly quickly after looking in a few likely places and here we dropped off the NW 2009 Racer TB . It was quite a relief to have done this as it had been on my mind for a while. Against my better judgement, we also took another Racer TB as we know we should be going near another cache in the race in two week's time.

After signing the log with our new stamper thing, we took some time to take in the scenery before heading off back down the gorge. Great place - we'll be returning to carry on up to Windy Hill sometime. Still not sure what the cache title means though ....

I just had to include this cute picture of a little lamb gamboling down the lane on the way back. For some reason Sarah always says "Mint Sauce" when she sees them - the cruel heartless woman!
