Back to Rivvy - Part 1

With the New Year here it was time for a trip back to the Rivington Area. I set of just after 8am for a 30 min drive to Horrocks Fold Car Park on Scout Road. From here i got everything together and set of along Scout road and then up Coal Pit Road before taking the path where the Mass trepass took place on Sunday 6th September 1896. From here it was a short walk to Ground Zero for cache GC10R9v - Will Yo' Come O' Sunday Morning by Lollybob. This was last found in May 08 and had to Did Not Find's since then with the last being in November. I was up against it since leaving home as during the night it had snowed and the ground was frozen. I spent around five minutes looking before it was time to call it and more on. The fact the by now my hands were freezing searching in the snow was also another factor.

It was now onto GC10RAA - Power to the people by Lollybob. This was a quick find once I had finished taking pictures of the area covered in snow. I soon signed the log and placed the cache back in its hide before continuing up the hill to GC169TC - Hole in the wall by Lollybob. On arriving at GZ it became clear how the hint was going to work and after a quick walk around i started my search and soon had the cache in my hand. I signed the log which had seen better days and then return the cache to its hole and headed back along the path which i came along before heading uphill just pass Power to the people and on my way to GC115GT - A Bonnie Lass by Lollybob.

This was going to be another hard serch in the snow covered heather and i was just about to give up when my foot kicked something and on looking down it was the cache. With my numb fingers from the cold i opened the cache, took the log out and signed it before placing the cache back where i had found it and movong on.

Next was GC1AQ6F - April Showers by Lollybob. This i will do a seperate blog for.
