Poynton Pool and Randoms

Off to do some more caching today. Bit random in our choices today, but it was good fun and the caches wernt that far apart. Yes we did miss some on the way but we will be back to do those another day.

GC10VPY - Norbury Brook
Started out at Norbury Brook, which is one of serveral caches place around brooks in the area. This one was hidden under the old caches favourate - the felled tree. They make great hiding places for caches. This cache was of a reasonable size and had some good swaps.

GC1KWFC - A walk Around Poynton - Poynton Pool
After a short car journey we parked up at Poynton Pool. Im supprised that there are not more caches around the pool as there are some great hiding places here. Again this cache was place in.... yes another felled tree. Only a 35mm canister to sign.

On walking round the pool we spotted a Terrapin sunning itself on a log in the water. There have been Terrapins at Poynton Pool since I was a young nipper (No I didnt put them them there!), and occasionally you get to spot one.





GC1T31F - herb's Home Cache
A nice walk around the pool to the other side and Poynton Park where they hold an annual show (which is in a fortnight on the bank holiday weekend). Found this cache nice and easily, another 35mm film canister.

GC24MQR - Deanwater
Another short drive to this cache. Thought we would do a bigger cache today as we have had lots of small 35mm caches recently. This cache was excellent once located. Its a good job I was wearing long pants though as the cache was hidden in amongst some brambles. Its one of those that you dont notice it unless you are looking for it. Some good swaps in this one, so left some good swaps in return.
