An evening stroll tonight for 4 more of this series. Nice quick find. The dogs were indeed barking. TFTC.
Top day .out found them all big log on 13 . Thanx
I think they might be barking horses way to big for a dog. You would have to carry asda shopping bags on your walk with these dogs .

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.
Past the house and across the stream to a junction familiar from our scout practice hikes. Quickly spotted

Quick find. Dogs still barking. Had a close encounter with a llama when we strayed off-track. It tried to get into Mrs G's rucksack.

8150 + 981 = 9131. 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. Saw the dogs but they didn't see me so no 'alarms' went off !
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.

Very good title for cache it was very noisy today. Also we found cache in centre of footpath so signed log and put it back where we think it should be.
No problem here. Dogs not too barky today. 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

I didn't know the cache name I thought at the time it should be called Noisy Dogs and now I find that is exactly what it is called. Very slippy underfoot. 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 14:05, #23 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!
Feared the worst as I approached this... & not from the dogs!
Lopped trees, cleared logs & a bonfire burning! But, all safe! Lovely spot!
Decided that was enough hill-climbing for today so declined #23 & turned back towards Bollington!

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 and I couldn't think of a more apt cache name lol.
TFTC!
# of finds : 1728

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
