Took a stroll after our dinner to the closest cache to Hunters Moon site. It was a 'Treetop Travel Bug Hotel' - the sort of cache where you drop off and pick up travel bugs. We had a 'bug' that we had picked up in Cornwall to trade. We had been a little concerned that we would have to climb the said tree, but what we found was a camoflage bag at the base of the huge oak tree - inside that was the end of a coil of rope which was hooked onto a branch at eye level - that needed to be unhooked and slowly let out so that a very large amo box in another camo bag could be lowered to the ground! Unfortunately for us, the box got stuck on a branch on its way down and we had to reach up with a stick to help it on its way. We left it as we'd found it - dangling way up high in the branches!Friday
Rain had been threatened for today, so we had another short walk this morning in Wareham Forest on the Sika Trail while the sun was still shining. Then we drove the short journey to the New Forest. We seemed to avoid the showers, though. We enjoyed a lovely lunch at one of our favourite restaurants - the Station House at Holmsley - then checked in at another Caravan Club site (Black Knowl) that we have been to before, near Brockenhurst. Some sunshine to bask in for a while, but the showers came in the evening.
Saturday
Soaked up some last rays of sun before the last bit of journey home. Called in at Premier Motorhomes near Chichester to drop off a faulty LED light from our van bathroom - although we had let them know a couple of weeks ago and they were ordering a replacement, it hadn't arrived yet. We were able to order a new camping table though, to replace the one we lost last week. Will have to return there when things have arrived.
Lovely to be home - a big pile of post lots of our lettuces ready to eat.
Thanks to our 'followers' for keeping in touch. Our next trip is only a month away .........................
