Decided to pop out and do another spot of night caching and obtain some TB's in the process tonight so off I went to find some 'treasure'. First stop was Corngreaves Treasure not too far from home. Parking was a couple of hundred yards down the road as the gates were locked to the Park car park, it had been raining most of the day and the river was quite high and flowing very fast next to the pathway leading to the GZ.
Upon approaching the area it was getting cooler and very misty, making the woods feel very eerie. Not much light around here so my torch was all I had to help guide me across the slippery undergrowth and mud, with the river just feet away.
My GPS was not too clever with the directions but a quick look around and I decided on a place and sure enough found the cache. After managing to sign the log book and retrieve the two TB's inside, I put it back carefully and made my way back to the car in the mist.
A quick drive then around to the other side of the park and to have a go at the Gruffalos Treasure. A short walk from my car into the woods, and scaring a few pigeons and other birds in the trees on the way, the cache was soon in my hands.
On my way home afterwards I stopped by an area where I had an idea for a cache and I needed to check the coordinates and distance from another cache. Once I had this sorted I drove round to Ash Banks multi-cache and managed to find it without the help of the GPS as it was out by a good 20 feet or so. I then decided it was time to go home and leave the second part to Ash Banks for another day.
I enjoy the night caching as I find it quite challenging compared to searching in the daylight hours.
