Another one found by TeamNoodle whilst I had walked past it without a thought.

Nice view from here, good view of the M25 and it's STILL a car park on the Northbound!

These were getting easier to find now, saw something that was a bit out of place and there the cache was.

Great walk/cycle route here.

TeamNoodle found this one whilst we were all looking around the gate. Nice spot and the rain was petering out.

Another trickier find but it did not evade us for long. As we were signing the log the heavens opened and it poured down for about 10 minutes.

Thankfully we were able to take cover under the nearby barn shed. Don't think the farmer would have minded.

Found quickly enough, this was a bit of a busy junction but thankfully no-one got ran over. Still sunny at this point.

Ha ha, didn't seem to have a drive thru on this one so no Big Mac and Fries for us!

Spotted the cache easily but let the WCC Crew and TeamNoodle have a go at spotting it.

Log signed then we headed down to the pub for some lunch and a rest stop.

Now the name of this one intrigues me as I've never heard of Slot Canyon, neither has Mrs Fitz. Sounds like it's off the tourist trails.

Easy find once again.
