Monday 2nd May was a lovely day, plus a holiday, so everywhere was busy including the New Forest. I decided that this would be a good time to do some geocaches as some new ones had come on line in the area. Instead of finding something at particular coordinates you can do this in reverse where you locate something specific and then log it as a find.
A cell phone mast disguised as a tree is one of those to be logged. I knew there was one of these en route to a normal cache. It is a very poor example of one, see photo.
After doing the normal cache we then did the ‘palindrome cache’. You have to find some coordinates that are a palindrome (reads the same backwards as forwards) I had been working on this for some time and had found some coordinates that are near here, and accessible, about 3 miles away in the New Forest. The coordinates are N 50 50.505 W 001 44.100. After parking the car it was just over half a mile to the location. As the journey became more difficult I had to leave Sue behind because it was hilly and very boggy. At one point I flushed out a deer. At the location I managed to get a photo of the GPSr with the palindrome coordinates showing on it.
