Great views and realised I am suddenly without a pen.
Pencil from now on.

We own the Dorset Police Coin that has been left in this cache. It is a laminated copy because the coin was given to us by the Dorset Police Dog Unit and is very special to us. The original coin was placed, but, went missing. Luckily it was found and returned to us. Sorry if any cacher is offended by it being a copy.
As I approached this one there was a muggle taking pictures right where I wanted to be so I hung about with the dogs until he moved on. I thought this one was going to be a needle in a haystack but the great co-ords put me just where I needed to be. Nice quick find in a neat hiding place here. TFTC.
8139 + 981 = 9120. 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. Blowing a Gale up here today !
Thanks again P R E D A T O R S !! A Favourite Point from Me !
TNLN – TFTC !!
Cheers from Australia….

After our quick find at #13, this one kept us busy for a few minutes before Phillip spotted it

Great views walking down to here as we are doing this part of the series backwards. Spotted Lyme Cage in the distance which reminded us that we have that series to finish. Oh how working gets in the way of fun! Quick find and off to the next. TFTC
Soon found it but not much of a cairn to be seen. It's a pity weather not good the views would have been terrific. We are enjoying the series though a lot of hard work gone into it, thank you.
No problem here. Great views. 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

As the cache name suggests, what a view. Great view of Lyme Park as well as Manchester. Many thanks
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.
Please see main log at TALBOL #13 : BOLLINGTON SECTION.
There are a number of geometrically similar items here, my advice is to think big.
Found at 12:57, #12 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!
Not sure I'd have recognized this as a cairn without a little help!

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.
This cache took a bit of searching for as there were so many hiding places but the co ords were very good so I found the cache eventually. The climb up here was certainly worth it for the views.
TFTC!
