This was a circular series only about ten minutes from where we were staying. This is a quick summary in case it's helpful for anyone else considering the series.
Name: More Movie Memories
First cache in series: GC6NTRB
Number of caches: 19
Distance: Approximately 3 miles
Location: Starts from Symondsbury, Dorset
We parked on Duck Street and headed towards and around the church to start the series, it meant that we passed the last cache on the way to the first, but at least there was one close to the car to finish with.
There's a cache somewhere in here |
Bluebells! |
Some very disinterested sheep |
An appropriate pirate's chest |
Scenery looking a little like something from Tomb Raider |
Plenty of people had left their mark on the stones |
Views into the distance |
Any opportunity to rest those paws |
Another appropriate cache container |
Barney getting bored of all the travel bug malarkey |
Track giving way to road |
Nice quiet country road |
So, compared with our plan at the start of the day, this is what we did:
Number of caches: 19
Distance: Approximately 3.8 miles. The map below from my GPS shows our route
Time: 3.5 hours, this included a lot of time fiddling with phones trying to get them to upload caches. It probably should have been half an hour less.
Terrain: Gradual incline for the first six or seven caches, then flat until a downhill section towards the end. A combination of farmers tracks, paths and roads. Dry when we walked it in May, but I'd imagine it could be very muddy in parts.
Wildlife: There were sheep in nearby fields but no need to enter the fields. We did see a cat at one point!
Facilities: We passed a cafe in the village.
