The younger geokid and I had a plan, this morning, to drive out from our temporary (post-flood) accommodation in New Yatt, park at St. Peter’s in Wilcote, and then walk the dog around the area between Wilcote and Ramsden while we collect a few more caches from this excellent series.Unfortunately our plans were scuppered early […]

Dan Q found GC4MJY0 R’n’R #9 – Thumper

<p>The younger geokid and I had a plan, this morning, to drive out from our temporary (post-flood) accommodation in New Yatt, park at St. Peter's in Wilcote, and then walk the dog around the area between Wilcote and Ramsden while we collect a few more caches from this excellent series.</p> <p>Unfortunately our plans were scuppered early on when we discovered that a Scouts troop had completely occupied all possible parking spaces in Wilcote, and a platoon of children, supervised by some tired-looking adults, were beginning a walk around what looked likely to be the exact same routes we were planning.</p> <p>So we came at it from the other angle. Driving around to Finstock, we parked near The Plough and came across the network of footpaths from the other end.</p> <p><a href="https://danq.me/_q23u/2026/03/20260314_112436-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://danq.me/_q23u/2026/03/20260314_112436-640x360.jpg" alt="A boy and a dog run through a grassy fallow field." width="640" height="360" class="aligncenter size-i640 q23-image-28523"></a></p> <p>By the time we were at the corner of this field the kid and dog were enjoying running around in the Spring sunshine, and once we got to the GZ the cache itself was a quick and easy find... although the kid did take the time to stop and make a crude joke about the rabbit's bum being corked!</p>

Another quick find for the sharp-eyed geokid, once we found the right host. Three for three and that's time for us to turn about and go have our brunch. TFTC!

The woods made it hard to get a good fix, but eventually we were in the vicinity of this excellent cache. It took a few different tree hosts before eventually we were looking in the right place. The younger geokid insists that I log that he caught sight of it before me!

Came out for a dog walk from New Yatt this morning. The GZ is deep within thick brambles, but the younger geokid was up to the challenge and soon the unusual cache container was in hand. TFTC!

Tougher than we expected to find – not only is this a stealthy container but it’s hidden unusually-thoroughly too! TFTCI’m increasingly regretting my choice this morning to wear comfortable but not waterproof shoes rather than my not-fully-broken-in walking boots. Between the muddy puddles and the long wet grass, my feet are soaked!
