Would have appreciated the cafe being open today to set myself up for this climb.

8136 + 981 = 9117. 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. Again I was worried about walking through here but all was well - one of the locals waved at me.
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.

Last one of this caching trip. Jessica came up with the container. Headed on down to the Coffee Shop only to find they are closed on a Tuesday 
, but the caching more than made up for it 
Just the ones of this series at the western tip of TALKET left to 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

Needed to fill a blank caching day in my calendar so drove up after work to scout out the 3 TALBOL caches located close to each other here.
Arrived near to GZ to get caught up in temporary lights and someone on my tail - nowhere along the road to pull over !!!!
Returned again after 6pm as only 10 mins from home with a view to parking in the Coffee Tavern car park. Had a quick chat with one of the cafe workers and asked if ok to leave car for a couple of minutes whilst I pop up the lane on an "errand".
Once a GZ it took me a few searches to find the clue object. Log signed and all replaced as found. Back again for another cache tomorrow. 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!
The OS contours suggest that this is going to be a long hard slog up to the SECTION box but I think this was probably my favourite bit of the day's walking - never saw a soul!

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 once I'd figured out which side of the road I needed.
TFTC!
# of finds : 1715
