9th July 2009 - The Breiddens multicache

Today Rachel & I tackled a multi-cache accross the Breiddn hills. I had wanted to do this cache for ages - but as it involves climbing 3 different hills, I did not want to tackle it by myself. We had a fab day out - though some of the climbing was a bit of a slog.

Here we are with the final cache - which was a bit of a pain to find - we had to resort to PAF!

We were rewarded by lovely views all around though and a special treat - we startled a deer hiding in the bracken. He jumped out just in front of us and then leapt away. It was a real surprise as we did not know that deer were on these hills - but my camera was tucked safely away at the bottom of my walking bag when he jumped out!

As this was a multicache - it invloved going to different points to pick up clues to the next location. I have to take photographic evidence of the clues now - as I did not want to walk back over the hills in case I have written it down wrong. You can tell that this has happened to me before!

You most probably can't see see it as it is so tiny - but inbetween us in the distance is Rodney's pillar - which I visited last month and fell over and injured my ankle.

This is the second hill we had to climb - Middletown Hill. We were halfway down the first hill when I took this photo. This second hill was a nice steady climb - unlike the first one!
