Canadian War Memorial and First Cuckoo

Saturday 27th April 2013

Spring may have sprung the other day but it's sunk without a trace again, it's back to cold winds and hail showers.  Today we parked at the Canadian War Memorial in the New Forest,  this memorial commemorates World War II Canadian forces present in the New Forest before the D Day invasion of June 6th 1944.

Shortly after leaving the car we heard our first cuckoo of the year, there was no sign of it but it was very loud and clear - watch out little birds!

We were out looking for a puzzle geocache that had us scratching our heads for a fair while this morning but having made an origami water bomb and solving the puzzle we were able to locate the cache easily! 

The cache was hidden in thisholly tree and the deer had obviously been there before us as the marks on the tree prove.
