First to Find and my first Opencache

It's been a while since I've cached in the New Forest, so this seemed the ideal opportunity and a DizzyPair cache is always good value.

The car park is one I've used on several occasions and before I set off on the walk I had a chat with a lady who had put out some bird food which was attracting lots of wild birds - blue tits, coal tits, nuthatches and a robin or 2.

The walk took me through unfamiliar territory, but I didn't see another person until the walk back.  There were some boggy bits amongst the fallen leaves, but a walking pole is always handy in these situations.  I saw deer tracks and later on a deer between the trees and lots of birds.

I hunted round a bit at GZ as the well-stocked cache was well-hidden ( I really should remember to bring some swaps with me). Once the paperwork had been done I found a handy stump nearby and took some time out before making my way back.

All in all a lovely walk in an unexplored part of the New Forest.

Thanks very much for placing this cache, DizzyPair
