Mystery trip

---

In order to win a virtual souvenir for our collection, we needed to find a "mystery" cache today, which means that you don't know exactly where its hidden, but have to solve some clues to get to it. Ineke and I decided to try one about Charles Darwin who studied the mudstone rocks at Lllanymynech it seems - you find out all sorts when you're a cacher. It turned out to be easily found so we set off up the hill for a walk round Dad's golf course, where there is a series of caches to be found. When I say round, I mean round the edge, where Offas Dyke path runs, and another part of the path is the border between England and Wales. It also involves a large but disused limestone quarry. The path was very muddy and slippery, so we had to walk very carefully.

I'm following the direction on the phone, and the stick is for branch poking!

King Offa
left this stone which he personally carved 1200 years ago - perhaps not!

in the quarry
makes you feel ant sized

the path had turned into a stream
so we did a spot of gorge walking!
