It took me about 2 years to finish this series off. I did it on foot with a dog, so the major roads were out of bounds for us and it took a bit longer.

I've only spotted that they had been cross-listed to opencaching as well. Hence the belated log. TFTC

Maintenance visit. All OK.

1555. After a bit of a hint from friends it was an easy find. I think I would have found it on Saturday if I had not had such a tired head.

Thanks for a great series. Really pleased to have completed it before our move to Birmingham.

Was rather tired this morning but thought I would take a look - a mistake as my cacher's instinct was not going too well.

Sally the Dog and I had to hunt around for this well-hidden cache. There is a lot of rubbish around. I can advise others that you do not need to move or handle any of the rubbish to find the cache. TFTC and thanks for the series.

Although I was missing two clues I still had enough information to work out the bonus coordinates (but I think you would be hard put to work them out wiithout doing all the caches on this circuit, so I am a bit curious as to why this one is included here).

At GZ there were a couple of lads fishing, but they were much more interested in that then me so I was able to retrieve and replace the cache with no problem.

Thanks for an enjoyable circuit - I've done caching by bike before but generally on linear routes along canals/old railways so it was good to have a circuit.

A pleasant, familiar spot to end this well thought out series.

Thanks for the cache.

Completed this fab bike ride.

Thanks for a good series Sandvika

Well, that turned out to be a good day's work.

Found the bonus cache, though I though for a while that I wouldn't - my GPSr led me to an area with some rubbish and fly tipping, and I was disinclined to search thoroughly. But when I decided to pass on it and walked back to the bike, I spotted where the cache was hidden, just far enough away for it not to be a problem.

The format actually took me a lot longer than the normal arrangement. This wasn't aided by the steady rain throughout the first half, which rendered my notes into mush, but even when it dried out in the afternoon it was still relatively slow going. This is partly because there is much more to do at each cache site, recording the log passwords and the locations of the next caches. Then, as a "minimal paper" cacher, as I programmed in the cache final locations I lost access to the cache page, and if I reselected the cache I lost the final location and had to enter it again. All this took time.

But it was a very enjoyable circuit, particularly in the afternoon when the rain stopped. I enjoyed getting out on the Brompton which, other than the most westerly track where the ruts caused considerable vibration, coped well with the off road despite being far removed from a mountain bike.

That's 70 OpenCaches in 6 days. Gotta be a new record .

Thanks for the cache and the series.
