We’d had two DNF’s on two of our Shropshire Church Gem caches near to home, so as it was such a nice day today I popped out armed with replacement caches just in case.
St Luke's in Hodnet
The first cache is at St Luke’s in Hodnet and one I did not think would get muggled as it’s well hidden. I parked up close to GZ and walked over to look for it. Sure enough, it was not where I’d hidden it but a quick look around the rest of the old yew tree it’s hidden in revealed a bit of camo bag out of the corner of me eye. I checked the cache and it’s looking good, so I’ve just updated the hint a bit and re-enabled the cache.
St Swithun's in Cheswardine
Next on the list was near St Swithun’s in Cheswardine. This cache was an ammo box hidden at the far end of some lovely woodland on a nice walk from the church. Needless to say, as I approached GZ it did not look good as someone has used a chainsaw to chop the fallen tree the cache was underneath into short sections. They must have found the cache as it was nowhere to be seen. I left a brand new cache a short distance away and updated the cache page.
St John the Baptist in Great Bolas
Finally, the last task for the trip was to drop off a TB that is a padlock and needs to be attached to an ammo box. The TB has a sibling that is a key and the idea is they both meet up and the cacher who manages it, can move the lock to a new ammo box. Our Shropshire Church Gem cache at St John the Baptist in Great Bolas looked perfect for that. A short walk down the old track had me at GZ and I did the business with the TB.
Now to head off back home to get on with some work!
