Logs
Parked at TALBOL #16 for a short walk tonight to do #17-#21. After the steep ascent I searched several hint items with no joy. Then spotted the real hint items and the cache was quickly found. As mentioned in an earlier log the coordinates are quite a bit out. I made the cache about 16m south of the published coordinates. TFTC.
Took a while to get here as on reaching the road from the previous cache I optimistically wandered downhill!
Quick find with the hint

Had identified the TAL caches around Pott Shrigley as a decent length walk, so parked up at TALBOL #16 and headed on over to the start point.
Failed to spot this on the way out so this was the last one on the way back to our parking spot. We had seen two cachers going along the TALBOL route as we got to TALKET #32 which turned out to be geogeriatrics (hello again). As they had dispapeared over the brow of the hill by the time we got here we followed the hint and soon had it found. Reckon the coordinates are about 70 feet out here. Had a chat with geogeriatrics when we caught them up at the car parking spot before heading home.
Another enjoyable session of the TAL series, with plenty more still to go

8144 + 981 = 9125. 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 !). After walking back from #16 to the car, I drove back and parked near #16 and continued along the series. Puffed up the hill. 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.

Struggled a bit with this as coords were a bit out but we backtracked and cache was soon found using the hint. TFTC
No problem here. 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

The last time I came up this hill on a caching mission it was full of snow. Much more pleasant today. I must have had the old coords as some 25metres out but found thanks to the clue. 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.
Found at 13:28, #17 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!
Understood the hint, eventually! Bit confused on my approach.... guess I have had enough for today!

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
