Out for a quick one with sarahjones65, we drove down the cobbled Lock Lane from Hunger Hill and had our bones shaken up quite a bit, not to mention our car. Turning right at the bottom we entered the very 'posh and expensive' looking area of Lostock and soon found our way to Ladybridge Football club. At this point we parked in the club car park and made our way to the public footpath a little further down the road.
Walking along the gravel path, it soon diverged and so I took the high road whilst Sarah took the low. It wasn't long before we were at GZ and looking for the cache. Unfortunately, our GPSr made the location about 50 feet away from where we actually found it, and that's the second time it's been so far out in week - I need to check that I haven't messed up the GPSr settings somehow and that's why my normally quite good readings have recently been wrong.
After signing the rather soggy log, we took the Russian badge from St. Petersburg badge and left a cute little Garfied the Travel Gnome geocoin. Sarah wanted to carry on further up the path but we didn't have time today, and so we'll mark it as one to come back to in the summer and do a spot of birdwatching on Rumworth Lodge. A great place.
