Healey Dell to Hail Storm Ridge and Back

A day out with Don (The Syllogiser) geocaching on the new LEGEND series. 23 caches and 2 dnfs over 10 miles. Starting at Healey Dell we winged it to Rolo and then set of up the Pennine Way with 2 diversions to other caches. The turning point back was Hail Storm Ridge and Wickers Hike 4 near to the trig point.

On the way back we did some Top of Naden caches and some more Wickers Hike caches.

Went for a short visit to the airport viewing park. There charges for parking are stupid so I parked near The Romper Pub and waled the half mile down the road. I was expecting to see more planes on display but there was only 3 intact aircraft outside. The Nimrod was fenced of leaving the Trident Three and a RJX. The concode is inside but was closed at the time of my visit.
Plenty of action out on the runways, aircrft landing on runway one and taking off on runway two.
