Looking down at GPS to check gz I realised that immediately beyond the screen I was also looking directly at the hide location.

Found after searching several of the hint items on a beautiful evening, just a short walk out for 4 caches tonight. Great views. TFTC.
8141 + 981 = 9122. 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 ! The locals (sheep) just ignored me here !
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.

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

I managed to check under every boulder in the vicinity before finding the right one. 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.

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!
Trickier than I thought it should be! Fascinating spot here - outstanding views! Couple of runners passed along the track below me, headed downhill... & waved - first people I'd seen since the Caravan Park!

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 was another cache that took a short while to find as there were so many potential hiding places but I got there in the end as the co ords were really good.
TFTC!
