Used my finger to investigate and poked the container out of its hide. Panicked that I wouldn't be able to find it in the undergrowth but was larger than anticipated.

8131 + 981 = 9112. 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 !
Thanks again P R E D A T O R S !! A Favourite Point from Me !
TNLN – TFTC !!
Cheers from Australia….
Please forgive the generic logs for the series.

Had guessed where this maybe hidden and we were right, just finding which hole it was in

TFTCGot this on our return journey due to muggle/dog activity on a nearby boat moored up.

First of the day. Free day today and weather forecast pretty good so we thought we'd go out for the day starting from where we left off.
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. Overlooked but no one was at home. Thanks
Time to find the remaining TALBOL caches along the Macclesfiled Canal.
Nice quick find

Spotted on approach. Thankfully no barge activity his morning! TFTC
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.
Please see main log at TALBOL #13 : BOLLINGTON SECTION.
Found at 12:07, #4 of 57 finds today.

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!
Felt very conspicuous here... boat doors open & music playing but couldn't see anyone - surely the boat occupants can't be muggles?!

Not much time today so parked where Springbank Lane crosses the canal to do TALBOL#2-#6. Third of the 5 quick finds, should have been our first but we had to walk past it as there were 2 muggles on a narrow boat right next to GZ. The cache is really on show and difficult to hide, really hope this is not muggled. TFTC.
I was back in the area again today to tackle another one of the "Alien Landing" series but this time around Bollington. Although the weather started off lovely and sunny (if ever so slightly windy) by the time I got to Kerridge Ridge the cloud had dropped and I could barely see the other side of the valley 
I had intended to do the first half of the series before caching my way back to Bollington but I was enjoying myself so much that I decided to attempt the lot and walked about 12.5 miles altogether 
I missed out a few caches along the canal, as there were too many people about to look properly but once I was out in the hills, I didn't see another soul! There were a great variety of caches and hiding places, the views (when it wasn't misty) were wonderful and I found the walking guide very useful.
The cache itself was a straightforward find at GZ but I couldn't get the log out to sign. I had to give up when three dogs from a nearby barge came bounding over thinking that I wanted to play fetch with them
TFTC!
