Nr East Tytherley

Friday 10th May 2013

We decided to tackle a series of eight geocaches today in an old wooded area and around fields of crops.  There were lots of flowers everywhere and quite a few butterflies but we didn't see much wildlife, cachers before us recorded having seen hares, I looked and looked but I didn't see a glimpse of one!  The nearest we got to wildlife was a large badger sett.

Bluebells in their prime.

A field of rape just beginning to bloom.

An orange-tip butterfly - we saw a few of these.

An early purple orchid.

We succesfully found all eight geocaches but we should have been able to find a bonus cache with answers from each cache, but somewhere along the windy footpath we must have gone wrong and we were unable to locate the bonus - never mind there's always another day (but it was quite annoying).  We walked just over four miles in an area that I would definitely return to (may have to to locate the elusive bonus cache anyway).
