Do you Know the way to Lyme Park?

The sun was out so we went off for a walk today into Lyme Park from Nelsons Pit in Poynton to do some new caches that have appeared.


GC2ZD1M - Do you Know the way to Lyme Park? 1

Had the first DNF of the day on the first cache. We had a good look for this one on the way into Lyme park and on the way back but had no luck in finding it. We will have to do this cache again another day.


GC2ZD3B - Do you Know the way to Lyme Park? 2

Our first find of the day. We had our mind set on a particular type of cache for this one so we missed this one in the first few minutes of searching, but then opened our eyes to locate the cache. A great hiding place.


GC2ZD52 - Do you Know the way to Lyme Park? 3

Walking on we found this one fairly easily after waiting for a dog walker and cyclist to go by. Signed the log and replaced. This route gets very busy during the nice weather.


GC3098V - Do you Know the way to Lyme Park? 4

At first we got the wrong tree due to the GPS signal bouncing about a bit, but then one of the younger members of the group found the cache straight away. Signed the log and replaced. On the way up the hill we met Young Thropp and had a quick chat swapping our trackable numbers. Always nice to meet a fellow cacher out and about.

This is our first "GC3" cache.


GC309A2 - Do you Know the way to Lyme Park? 5

Last cache of the series, stopping to look at the views over the cheshire plains. I have done this walk a few times now and the view is always stunning, especially on a clear day. A clever cache hide.


GC242QG - Lyme Park No 38

I got to the GZ co-ordinates for the cache and located its hiding place which was nicely hidden. I had just retrieved the cache when the farmer had started driving his sheep up the road so it got a lot of muggles comming to stand near to the walls to watch. I had to wait a bit before replacing the cache into its hiding place.


GC2NP5W - Hase Bank Wood

A walk along a wooded path with lots of rhodi bushes. It was all the rage years ago to plant rhodi bushes, but they have become very purvasive over the years and taken over the wild forna. The park rangers and the NT (National Trust) are slowly reducing their numbers but its is a long process to allow the natural habitat to return.

We walked down the path until finding the spot. A nice easy find.


GC2ZCY2 - Poynton's Past

We solved this one after parking up, but decided to get the cache on the way back from our walk to Lyme Park as there were a lot of people about near to the cache site. Found the cache after doing the tying of the shoelace trick and retrieved. Signed the log and replaced.

Returned to the car and home. Another good caching session and walk.
