Found it [MF]taz found Kington Lane Loop No. 1 - Tattle Bank (Traditional Cache)

Out on a Saturday afternoon to do some caching with the family, we also borrowed a friends dog, who became a geohound for the day.

Found this one quite quickly, nicely hidden.

[MF]taz found Kington Lane Loop 5 - Cutlers Farm (Traditional Cache)

Didn't expect this to be a nano as I hadnt read the listing yet but spotted straight away, which is a pleasent surprise for a nano.

[MF]taz found Kington Lane Loop 6 - Woodfield Hill (Traditional Cache)
17:45

When we saw all the Sheep and Lambs about near to GZ and surrounding area we was expecting to have to pass this one by.

However there are advantages to caching with a 3 year old, the noise projecting from the child made the sheep get up and find somewhere else, I don't thint the sheep would have been worried by our (adopted for the day) goehound as he looks a bit like a sheep as its a mini-poodle.

Found after a short search, worried about kneeling in sheep poo!!!

[MF]taz found Edstone Adventure (Traditional Cache)
18:04

Found while out and about doing the series, some wonderful views while walking over the field, found after checking clue.

Liz wants to point out that it wouldn't apply to her as it's not at the same level.

[MF]taz found Kington Lane Loop 7 - Valley View (Traditional Cache)
18:18

A nice quick find, tremendous views.

Our friends mini-geo-poodle for the day felt a bit tiered after we had done this one, so we carried him for a bit.

[MF]taz found Kington Lane Loop 8 - Manor Farm (Traditional Cache)
18:38

Found easily with clue, was barking up the wrong tree.

A bit of a tantrum of the little one as she wanted the water squirter, but I didnt think I had any swaps, luckily I found something suitable to swap... thing is I have no idea what.

Anyway, the water squirter got used in the shower when we returned home as we was all suitably muddy after our visit.

The mud around this cache is only the beginning.

[MF]taz found Kington Lane Loop 13 - Langley Range (Traditional Cache)
19:46

After missing out a few of the loop to avoid the mud, and finding more mud the alternate route, found this one after a short search, onwards to look for the last and then heading home.

[MF]taz couldn't find Kington Lane Loop 14 - End of Loop (Traditional Cache)
At the end of the series a slight low note with this being a DNF, however it didn't spoil our overall enjoyment of the series.

Many thanks Stag Ramblers for placing these caches, was glad to see that this had been found today so it's likly that the cache is here just down to us not being able to find.
