The Sketch
I made a Sunday afternoon jaunt with Daughterus Maximus over to a tempting looking (i.e. short and easy looking) new series of caches at Stoke Bruerne.
We parked up at the canal museum, which proved to be handy for later. I’d been here earlier in the year (see Route Canal), so I sort of knew the form, but this was a completely different circuit.
The series makes more or less of an equilateral triangle (with the point down) to the south and west of the village, spreading just about as far as the adjacent village of Shutlanger.
It was a grey and fairly cold afternoon, but the caches were quite easy to find. The walk was entirely over agricultural land, most of which was pasture, and some of which had sheep, but nothing more serious than that.
We got through them all fairly quickly. Most were pretty easy finds that didn’t keep us busy for long. Overall it was a pleasant walk for an autumn afternoon. When we got back to Stoke Bruerne we retired to the cafe at the canal museum for coffee and cake. Mainly cake.
Well, it keeps us off the streets, I suppose. Well, in this case it did, because we were in the fields. But you know what I mean. Probably.
