Around the world in one series

Otmoor Challenge, 30+ caches. Helsinki (where we started): GC3Q1KZ

Well, I can't be exact with that... only did part of the series! - 22, in fact, and we walked over six miles for that (don't take my word for it though... can't remember exactly!)

I began the day wrapping up at my work placement, when, all of a sudden, I was surprised by Walk Tall arriving telling me that we were going caching - brilliant! So, I bowed out, GPS in hand, and off we set. I was in the Kidlington area, and so we embarked on this particular series which wasn't too far away.

Each cache is named after a different city, thus the title of this post, and we found caches from London to Mexico City! I can't say that the caches or their contents boasted anything in particular about these places, but it was nice to have an ongoing theme.

It was a pleasant walk, and the caches were easy finds, other than one DNF we had between Helsinki and Oslo: perhaps the cache was missing? It was a scorching hot day, and so any views we got were a bit hazy, but, hey, the sun is out... who can complain? It's a rare event around here!

No photos? Unfortunately, as I was having such a great time talking to Walk Tall, it never occurred to me to get my camera out; no, it wasn't a walk with outstanding views, but the scenery was lovely, and we passed some very picturesque spots, such as a pond where I believe we saw two herons. Of course, the sun made this all the better!

A brilliant surprise, and a brilliant afternoon caching - you should take a look at these, but save them for a nice day so the area really comes alive - otherwise it won't be as special. A pleasant walk.
