AR 12: Kimblewick and around - Monday 23 March and Wednesday 25 March
I love my Monday morning walks with Pip, especially when the sun is shining and the sky is blue. Today it was even warm enough that I didn't need to wear a coat! Pip is getting heavy - he now weighs about 19lb which is significantly more than when I started walking with him back in September!Today was an ok caching day... It's definitely getting harder to actually search for caches with Pip on my back - I can't get down low and I can't get through bushes! I'm anticipating more DNFs as I progress around the Aylesbury Ring. Caches today included:
- AR20 Pochard - Piped Music
- AR21 Pochard - Manor Farm
- AR22 Pochard - Kimble Wick (DNF due to dogs and Pip)
- AR01 Eider - Kimble Wick Multi (DNF)
- AR02 Eider - Kimble Wick Letterbox
- AR03 Eider - Unzipped Letterbox (DNF)
This photo is the location of AR20 Pochard - Piped Music. Things didn't go quite to plan here as I dropped it in the stream while trying to climb back to safety and sign the log! This meant that I had to take the cache box home to dry it all out and then return and walk the same route again on Wednesday!
Walking is exhausting for me, but it always seems to completely wipe Pip! He was so tired he didn't even wake when I took him off my back!
