The Routemaster was hoping to take Walter to the Midlands but didn't get there and I felt it should be moved along.

I brought Walter to Holland as he was with our daughter at the start of her 350 mile cycle ride when they set off from St Pancras. I wanted to drop him off there but I'm a learner geocacher and only got to 1 cache that was big enough to take it - and it was so wet, and I didn't have a bag for Walter so I didn't leave him there. I thought I might find another cache but didn't manage it - sorry. So - he's been to London and Arnhem but ended up back in Bexhill! I will move him on - out of the town! - as soon as I can. however, I do have some photos of him hanging around the 'Bridge too Far' at Arnhem, where he was with us for the 60th. anniversary events - photos attached.
