Geocache Description:


Hail smiling Morn, smiling Morn
That tips the hills with gold, that tips the hills with gold
And whose rosy fingers open wide the Gates of Heav'n, the Gates of Heav'n,
And whose rosy fingers open wide the Gates of Heav'n!
All the green fields that Nature doth enfold,
All the green fields that Nature doth enfold,
At whose bright presence, Darkness flies away,
Darkness flies away, Darkness flies away!
At whose bright presence,
Darkness flies away, flies away, flies away,
Hail, Hail, Hail, Hail, Hail, Hail, Hail, Hail!

"Hail Smiling Morn" composed by Reginald Spofforth in 1810, is the anthem of Bolsterstone Male Voice Choir (visit link)

Having reached Cote House Farm, you now have approximately half a mile to go back to Bolsterstone. Please keep dogs on a lead, they have free-range ducks. There are several stone stiles to negotiate. Be aware that one or two have wobbly top steps and the footpath is very narrow in places. There is also a bench (the only one on the walk) where you can rest before the final sprint into Bolsterstone. Have you found the cache? You are probably getting bored with the wonderful views by now, but you shouldn't be. Like the Choir, sing "Hail, Hail, Hail, Hail"!

I hope you have enjoyed your walk around Bolsterstone Male Voice Choir's uplifting anthem.

FTF congratulations to Smart451 - that's 10 out of 12!
