Staying at my Mum's and she thought we should go to Shannon for a drive and to check out the shops - apparently Shannon is becoming a bit of a destination place - Go Shannon. We did enjoy our wander and I was able to collect some caches on the way there and back.
This was the 4th - collected it after lunch and at the end of our 'spending' - gardens beautifully maintained.
Had to watch for council workers who were taking down banners today - but well chosen discrete spot for cache - TFTC and for a nearby seat to sit and sign - doesn't look so suspicious Smile
