Manor Farm Country Park

Wednesday 30th January 2013

Today's exercise was to be taken geocaching at Manor Farm Country Park near Botley - www.hants.gov.uk/manorfarm   As we have recently had even more rain, the footpaths were even more muddy/sloppy/slippy (if that is possible) than I can remember.  I am thinking of auditioning for the next series of Dancing on Ice, as I am now sliding and gliding beautifully on the soft sinking mud- I just need to perfect a spin - no doubt that will come! 

One of the first stops was along the Hamble River.


We then walked along some 'footpaths', please supply your own captions! - These footpaths have widened somewhat.




Even the sheep were walking along squelching mud and water up their legs with each step but it didn't seem to bother them.




We walked 3.5 miles, found 7 caches and saw;

  • Buzzard
  • Jay
  • Grey Squirrels
  • Robins (thousands!) - Dogs (thousands)
  • Magpies
  • Crows
  • Wood pigeons
  • Blackbirds
  • Sheep
