TALKET #30 : Silver Birch Northwest England, United Kingdom
By P R E D A T O R S on 01-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4VPDH

Out for our 6th trip around the series having not been able to get across for a couple of weeks. Picked up LostnWet along the way as it was our turn to drive. As always the walking was great with the usual assortment of ups and downs along the way. The weather wasn't doing us any favours today unfortunately and we only saw 2 other walkers the whole day. Remembered to grab the necessary info as we went.

Very cute seeing so many lambs frolicking along the way with some being very newly born.

We managed to grab a few other caches along the way and some drive-bys before our other custom of going to find a pub for some tea.

Signed logs off as T2 for our 2 teams. Looking forward to our next trip out to complete the last series and hopefully locate the black box. TFTC.

Found while out walking the series today. First time we have done an alien round in one go, woohoo! Great weather, great hides and great fun. Loved it. Full log posted for primary cache. Found with Grandad TFTC.

My fifth outing today of this fantastic Alien series, this time taking in TALKET. It was an early start and the weather didn't look promising, with low dark clouds. What a relief after a couple of hours when the clouds lifted and the sun started to shine through, and I had blue skies for the rest of the day.

The walk itself was fairly easy taking in varying terrain with two hard bits, the walk up to the section cache and the hill up to #31 which is a lung buster. My stats ended at 10.86mls and a time of 6.27hrs. for the day.

All the caches like the other routes I have done in the series are all easy to find with the exception of a couple. most of the time you don't need to refer to the hints.

I would like to thank the CO for all the hard work and effort in putting this series together and the walks you have took me on so far have all been excellent.

Thanks for the cache and the series.

Out with SpottyZzebra alien hunting, all logs signed 3D & SZ or SZ &3D.
Quickly found..

Soon found, tftc

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.

Managed to find the path from TALBOL #22 to this one after a few twists and turns. Container soon spotted

8151 + 981 = 9132. 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.

Thanks again P R E D A T O R S !! A Favourite Point from Me !

Cheers from Australia….

Please forgive the generic logs for the series.

Nice easy find - lovely walk - TFTC

Out today with Jim (Supertrampz) with the full intention of completing this leg. Logs Signed DNF, STZ or just DS.

Most of the entries will be cut and paste, unless I can add something significant.

Here we are again. Another Friday and another in this series that will be walked in the company of The Haywood Hornet today. Weather forecast not too bad although a tad windy in places and we had a bit of a shower towards the end of the walk. All caches in the series were found without too much trouble is what it should be on a long walk. No pub on route today so a sit down and a sandwich break part way around. Took about seven hours from car to car which is about average for the walks so far. Sorry but cutting and pasting is the order of the day so apologies. A thoroughly enjoyable day out today and so looking forward to get another series found soon. TFTC the series and a great walk.

60% of the way round so we stopped for a few minutes here for our sandwiches. A nice little cache that I found without a problem. I think that the next leg was the hardest climb.

Most of the trees in this wood seem to be silver birch, tftc

I sneaked 3 of the KET series from a bit of the BOL series. Quickly located and quite some tree. Thanks

Found it. TFTC!

A nicely hidden cache. We realised as we sat down to sign the logroll and collect the stamp that we were very close to the TALBOL route and the peace was, once again, being disturbed by those "Noisy Dogs". Decided to move on and visit another location before taking a lunch break since this would enable us to spend some time at the cache which had been the cause of several DNF entries. TFTC

Sailed straight past this and tried a couple of wrong trees, before eventually finding cache

Joined forces with B of BandMandAandA today to take on our first complete Alien Landings series after I did a few of TALTEG a couple of weeks ago. A leisurely day taking c9 hours.....5.5 walking time and 3.5 stoppage time....mainly due to stamping, photography and searching for a previously logged DNF by others that remained a DNF for us!! A fabulous walk and cache series. No doubt B will record detail of each cache find in his indubitable style but I will pass comment on particularly memorable caches. We signed logs as TAB....Team Alien Bashing....(or Team Angie and Barry).

Straightforward find. Thanks for the cache.
