Since I set up The Cat Trail series of caches on the other side of Nailsea, a number of cachers have asked me which was my first cat. Well that takes me back to my childhood in the late 50s / early 60s where my family had a beautiful grey / blue Persian who went by the name of Smokie which was an apt description of the colour of his fur when mixed in with his white chest.
Smokie lived with us in our family home in Herston, Swanage where our rear garden backed onto the exterior grounds of a church. Smokie used to love sitting on the boundary wall between two upright stones. I always remember him being pestered by butterflies which he would brush away with a paw. Like the other cats in The Cat Trail series he also lived to a ripe old age and is now probably sitting in cat heaven watching over Angel, Taz, Hetty, Frankie, Toffee and George.
This cache is not suitable for a Cache and Dash as there is nowhere to park on this narrow lane. Cars are normally travelling at a sensible speed but please watch out for children and geohounds as cyclists can come round some of the bends at speed. You will also see horses, sheep and other livestock in the surrounding fields so please keep dogs on a leash.
A pointy implement would be useful to extract the log.
Please replace out of sight of public view.
Congratulations to Daryls Dad for a quick FTF
