Walk tall, now you've done all the series - overall final
thoughts and comments? Is 37km an underestimate? :o Likely to
be doing it next weekend, if not I'll have to wait until June as
dad is away for three weeks :-\
On another note, about to do a PQ for the Pinswell series...
Will keep you posted TJ ;) :D

Yep.
We've decided that should we decide to do the GCW next weekend,
it will be on Saturday (to recover on Sunday! :D) - If we do,
does anyone else want to join us?

Don't you think the talk on PQ's should be some where else ???
This is why I stopped using GC's forums, as topics went off
subject too often :(

Well, the talk was originally referring to the GCW series :D I
can move the posts if you want?

Quite correct, I have split the posts into 2 separate subjects.
My humble apologies ;D

I think 37km is an under estimate even if you did it in one hit.
It is certainly further if you split them. My stats were: 5.1
miles, 4.6 miles and 17.8 miles.
Which one did I enjoy the most? The first loop (and not because
of the FTF's) as this had varied terrain and more consistent
good views and certainly would be a good one to do as a taster.
It's what I would call a lolly pop walk, along the stick, round
a circular route, back down the stick: Ablington - Coln Rogers -
Winson - Ablington. You could easily combine it with the loop
south to Barnsley Park and back.
Overall, I don't think some of the caches will last long,
yesterday several were out in the open which I put back but also
some where intentionally visible. There are a few that are
overlooked, so again, will they last.
I know they used a lot of 35mm's but why coin bags, they are not
water tight and fiddly. With that amount of caches, I'm sure it
was expense that was behind why they used what they did.
The route from Bibury to Quenington along the river was muggle
central yesterday. I nearly had to give up on one cache, it
think it was #83.
I think it is great that they have published these loops and I'm
sure they will be enjoyed but I wouldn't like to look after so
many.

Quite good then :) thanks for pointing all that out ;D
Did you split the series as the CO suggests, or elsehow?
