A Bit More Heart Attack
Another day, another trip to the Hatley Heart Attack. This time I started at Sutton, in Bedfordshire.
On this day I was joined by (or, I’d arranged to go out with) DJ:CD and we decided we’d start in Sutton and aim to do the loop around there.
I’d previously done a couple of loops to the south-west of there (see Biggleswade, Eyeworth and Dunton) and had left every other cache around the stretches that form part of both loops, thereby ensuring I had something to go back for.
We had a few shenanigans trying to meet up (meeting times are always a bit of a variable concept when you have kids) so I had time to grab a couple of drive-bys on the way in before parking up in the street and heading off for our walk.
The walk initially took us on a large anti-clockwise loop to the south of Sutton. The first 9 caches were in a straight line down a bridleway. From here we looped back northwards and eastwards across some more agricultural terrain. Back at Sutton, we had just about enough energy left to yomp around a big field and back down the side of a golf course.
It was a fairly reasonable day for January, with some sunshine. It was kind of cold though. My photo of the church shows a bit of snow on the ground. Assuming it’s a photo from the correct day.
We managed to find 38 caches during the course of the day without straining too much. Given that it was quite late when we started, that’s not too bad an effort.
