Hadn't planned for any caching today, but while walking first stage of North Cheshire Way, called in at nearby café for a quick coffee. Sitting in the cafe's garden, I realised that there was this cache within just a few yards, so found and signed it before moving off.
This is the first of the Talbol series I've seen; I hope to be back for more shortly.

8135 + 981 = 9116. 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.
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.

A quick find in the afternoon sunshine, sign log on the stump and off we go to the next.
Lots of work going on in the road today with traffic lights just near to where cache is. Fortunately there was no traffic queuing while we were signing the log and the workmen were too busy to notice us.
As per the title of this one, yes it was. Headed out for #7 and this one before a cuppa and a scone. Nice quick find

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. Found with Grandad TFTC.
Change of emphasis - an early morning cache for a change.
Needed a nearby cache for the continued assault on filling my calendar blanks. As it is a lot lighter at 6.30 am nowadays, this opens up the opportunity to cache prior to the daily commute.
Parked up virtually opposite GZ within the cordoned off stretch of road. A quick dash over the grassed area to the clue item. Found, signed, replaced and off to work. TFTC

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!
Roadworks here & temporary traffic lights but there was no traffic & all the muggles were down holes!

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.
I didn't have the time to stop off at the cafe which was a real shame as it looked lovely. The cache itself was a straightforward find at GZ.
TFTC!

Back out today to complete another in the TAL series. Todays choice was TALBOL so I could combine it with some maintenance on my Middlewood series. The weather was great all day and the views looking over Cheshire were outstanding. Like with the other TAL series I have done, all the caches were not too difficult to find thanks to the good co-ordinates and meaningful hints. Thanks for the caches and the series
