The Magnificent Seven!

Legacy of the railway

We set out yesterday with the aim of finding 7 geocaches from Poley's Bridge towards Bodmin along the Camel Trail. We knew it was a big ask of Sean as he is still just 8 years old and the GPS said it was a 6.4 mile round trip. We were prepared to do half and then call it a day if we needed to.


We didn't need to. We did the whole route and it actually turned out to be 8.1 miles by the time we had walked a little more searching for caches and exploring... Sean was a star and was the only one still able to skip at the end!!!

By Poley's Bridge

Poley's Bridge was fabulous. We spent almost an hour looking for a multicache here. It was made difficult by a poor GPS reading and the arrival of many cyclists in the carpark...


When we found the geocache it was a moment of exhilleration- taking us to somewhere we were never have gone to otherwise...


Sean  loved the place and was really pleased to find a little beach where he could practise stone skimming.

Sean trotted ahead happily in charge of the GPS

Super fit Sean

I've posted a few other photos from this walk on my other blog Creative Serendipity (http://creativeserendipity-gmg.blogspot.com/2011/04/life-is-in-details.html ).


...And finally - we found every single geocache we set out to find- Wow! A magnificent seven!


It was a glorious day, blazing sunshine and a very warm wind. We hope summer ends up as nice as this...


Until next time
