Trip report for Sunday 15th February 2009. None of us were exactly accquainted with this part of the Island, so what was a proposed 5-cache outing in Godshill ended up with us discovering only two caches in the area, and one in Knighton on the way there.
So first up was cache GC1D02H, a quick cache and dash near Knighton Gorges - supposedly one of the most haunted spots on the Island. Being midday there were no ghosts to be seen but I wasted no time in locating the first cache of the day in which we left one of our Team Panda keyrings.
Back in the car and off to Godshill. We parked up in the Old Smithy car park and headed on up the the church for cache GC19WBR. A wonderful view from the top here, and the graveyard was of much interest due to how amazingly old it is here.
We weren't really sure how far away the next two caches on the list were, so we decided to hop back in the car. Turns out we should have walked at least the first two as there was no parking near the beginning of the trails. No problem, we'll be back in the future!
The last cache (GC19WA6) was located outside the fence at the front of the impressive Appuldurcombe House. Only a short walk from the car park so there was definitely a lot less walking than we had planned on doing. But we had a cache of our own to place this afternoon, so we headed back to the car to go and get that sorted out...
