Earth Day

Earth Day is the day we are supposed to appreciate the Earth's natural environment. We spent it geocaching around Bishops Wood, near Grogley, Cornwall today. We walked in three different directions in a lovely walk and saw so much beauty in nature...

And off he goes...

When we arrived Sean got the GPS first...












 Near the first cache site we saw this...

The insciption

The bat cave!

 Bishops Wood is next to the River Camel

We explored a nature path along the river edge. Yet again we found a plank bridge. This one was even worse than most. One plank had already fallen in and another was too wobbly too stand on.  I still managed to cross it twice...

Me on another dodgy bridge!

All along the river was the strong scent of wild garlic.

Wild garlic- very fragrant!

We took another side walk to walk amongst the bluebells... The path wound through the woods and was quite steep in places.

Bluebells carpeted the woods near Wadebridge

We picnicked at Grogley Halt on the Camel Trail, sitting by the river.

We climbed 2 steep hills, walked 5 miles and found 5 geocaches along the way. A good walk on a gorgeous spring day in an amazing environment.


Until next time
