The first one I came to was Somers Park – Ice House. Parked the car in the lay-by and headed back to where the GPS was pointing. Eventually found a public footpath and headed off down there. The trees were blocking out a lot of the street light from the main road, so out came the wind-up LED torch. After a hundred yards or so, the torch was light was dwindling, the more I wound it, the more it didn't satisfy its hunger for power. Great!
Approaching the GZ, I noticed that the GPS was not too erratic as I walked, so I was hoping that it would be a quick find, as it was rather dark down here, quiet and creepy. I found the Ice House and had a quick look with what light the torch gave me, very eerie indeed, then I returned to the task of finding the cache nearby, hopefully.
A quick look around the area didn't produce anything and then as I turned and shone the torch into the trees something stood out that didn't quite look right in its colour. So a quick investigation revealed the cache. Yay!
Trying to write in the log book and hold a torch, with its light dwindling even more, made me more anxious to get out and back to the car. After signing I headed back out of the wooded area along the path and up onto Bromsgrove Road, eventually returning back to my car before the rain came down heavy again.
It was then off to my own cache, Stourbridge Junction – Travel Bug Motel, to drop off a TB I collected, to help it on its way to the US of A, then back home as it was getting to late.
