This was to be the final cache of the day for Grandad Bob, Sarah and me. We'd just come down the road from the cache at
Rufford Sluice and an interesting conversation with the farmer there and now the light was starting to fade quite rapidly.
We parked on the corner of the bend and headed down the public footpath across the fields, which crossed two small bridges on the way to GZ. By now it was very windy but there was a beautiful sunset in the sky and wonderful sound of rustling leaves in the trees.
In the distance we could see the TV mast lit up on Winter Hill and Ashurst Beacon which, together with the very moody grey and white clouds, made for a very dramatic backdrop to the large bales of hay in the fields.
I took a picture of Grandad Bob doing his 'Moses' impression towards the angry-looking heavens as Sarah got on with finding the cache. We had to resort to using the clue though, as it still hadn't been located after five or more minutes.
In the end it Grandad Bob who suggested looking under a large stone and 'hey presto', there it was. A great end to a fairly successful day with 4 out 5 caches under our belt. We trampled happily back across the fields to the car and then off home and
Shepherd's Pie for tea.
