By P R E D A T O R S on 01-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4R17T

Quick lunchtime trip out

Previously had my boat moored at Lyme View and it is now at Furness Vale so have passed along this stretch of canal frequently over the last 10 years...always fancied the house opposite.

8130 + 981 = 9111. Found during a wonderful wander around the countryside…

Spending a few days in Manchester for a wedding I had a day to myself to go caching. These series looked very interesting and being Letterbox Hybrids I couldn’t resist doing some of them. Parked as near as could in these narrow roads and started the big walk (25kms today for 35 caches !). A quick find at GZ. Loved walking along the canal – very scenic ! Some locals stopped their boat to have a chat !

Thanks again P R E D A T O R S !! A Favourite Point from Me !

Cheers from Australia….

Please forgive the generic logs for the series.

Another quick find along the quiet canal. TFTC

Straightforward find. Left a TB.

Quick find just had to wait for muggles to pass.

Another short flurry of caches after work. It is about time I finished another series so decided the TALBOL was the best one to try. No problems here, thanks.

Nice morning to have a quick dash down the canal to grab a daily cache. Pen was playing up so rather a scabby signature on the log - sorry. TFTC

Time to find the remaining TALBOL caches along the Macclesfield Canal.

Spotted the location from a short distance, so soon in hand

After a long week at work, it was great to be out again today to complete another section on this fantastic series This week, we decided to complete the TALBOL section and also mop up our 2 DNF's on TALKET and TALLAM. We were really lucky with the weather, only encountering a couple of brief hail showers, and ending the day on Kerridge Ridge in glorious sunshine. We had expected much worse conditions after all the rain yesterday Another fantastic walk that took us 6 and three quarter hours to complete the 22.5km with detours and 673 metres ascent on this section. Yet again some stunning views and nice straight forward finds to keep us moving at a steady space. We really do appreciate the effort that has gone into placing this excellent series We hope to complete our last section next weekend - not sure what we'll do once we've completed the series [:o] Thanks for another great day

Our day 7 stats:
Distance walked: 133km
Total ascent: 4,390 metres
Time taken: 42.5 hours
Caches found: 336

Found on another great walk out today chasing aliens. No DNFs, tired legs, full log at the Bollington master cache. Big thanks for putting them out. It was here or hereabouts that the GPS (Oregon OS mapping) had us on the wrong side of the canal. Just ignore it and stay on the obvious side… Found with Grandad TFTC.

Found today after work. Another flying visit to fill a blank. Parked on the nearby bridge and a quiet walk to GZ. Waited for a boat to pass before signing log. All replaced as found. TFTC

Found it. TFTC!

Please see main log at TALBOL #13 : BOLLINGTON SECTION.

Alien Quest No.7! Finished TALFUR this morning & aiming to walk about half of this today - depends how tired my knees become!
Still keeping up with all the stamps... albeit with a 'sub' at the Lamaload Section Box!
Sat on the stile & fiddled with map, camera & boots whilst waiting for a very slow-moving & friendly muggle to pass!

Not much time today so parked where Springbank Lane crosses the canal to do TALBOL#2-#6. Fourth of the 5 quick finds. TFTC.
