We went and did a quick geocache at Moreton Corbett Castle GC16ZVW at Shawbury - where Prince William has just done his helicopter flying training. I have been there many times with the children but Steven hasn't so he was intrigued by the old ruins. Such a shame they were allowed to rot. But there was a picture of a 19th Century engraving showing that the rot had already started then - it did not have a roof but all the walls were intact.

15th May photos
These were technically taken last night but as I am in catch up mode and I am so pleased with them - I am using them!

The cache was easy to find but tracky to get to as there were loads of nettles and as Steven had his shorts on - I had to do the deed. Luckily there were plenty of dock leaves around to make me better!
I may even have a scrapbook layout to show later as I started one yesterday, with the lovely transparency in yesterdays Gogo kit, just can't think what title to use yet.
