Gressingham/Hornby - 25 March 2011

Attempting to find at least one cache per week, we stopped in Gressingham and Hornby on the way home from work to get a couple of simple find.

The first was Deborah's cache, a find on a little island by the beck, reached by a little bridge. A lovely, peaceful little site, and a perfect place to leave the memorial Lest We Forget geocoin we picked up in Todmorden last weekend.

Then a short drive to Castle Stede, just outside Horby. Parked before the bridge on the Gressingham side, and then a short walk to the cache site, which is an old World War Pill box. The cache isn't inside this, but nearby, but it took us some while to find the cache, which was well hidden - recommend poking with a stick. Again, we thought this would be an ideal place to drop off The Thing on a Sting travelbug, which wants to visit castles and spooky places - Castle Stede ticks at least one of those boxes.

With a fairly busy weekend planned, this at least satisfies our attempts to log one cache a week, and it was great to be out and about in the sun after work for a change - been a long while coming!
