extreme sport !

The rain came on this afternoon, now there's a surprise! but off we went geocaching, back to Auchincrieve again,there are a good number of caches there and a lovely place to walk,we have lived in Ayr for over 6 years now and 25 years down the road in Troon, but we have never been here before, this sport (yes it is classified as sport) is taking us out and about to places we haven't seen before.
Hiking boots on with old trousers, hood up on the old jacket and walking up country lanes through mud and puddles. Actually had to climb over a farm gate in the middle of the foot path (it was a right of way) to get to our destination.
Ahhhhhhh spotted the place mentioned, but how to get to the woods on the other side of the jaggy hedge? hubby ventures off to find a gate.........but me the impatient one, decides to just clamber through a gap and down into a ditch! hanging onto a tree I made it up the other side. How glamorous this is! (see photo!!!!!!!) but good excercise.
What is under that stone? yes, its the cache. Whistling to OH that i had found it , he was still making his way the long way round (wimp).
Now I wonder what the two girls riding by on their horses must have thought seeing us on the edge of the woods, I am still waiting for someone to put their hand on my shoulder at some point in my geocaching and say "Madam WHAT are you doing"? only to look up and see the long hand of the law hmmmmmm "Well officer" !!!!! So we got that one, off to another which we couldn't find, then on to one along by the river, yesssssss got it. Some clever containers out there in geocaching land. Someone had really thought this one out.

I collected a Travel Bug from the first cache so that is home with us, the owner wants to see photographs of places it has gone, it seems to have originated in USA in 2008. I plan on taking it to town tomorrow morning with us for our morning coffee and take a photograph to put up on the geocaching site, then place it in another cache somewhere .......... ;-)
