This cache is close to the M62 so hopefully R2D2 might move off quickly again in his quest to get back to Seattle. We couldn't write a log entry for where we dropped R2D2 off as it was too wet - so please can the next carrier please do it.

Fred Bare and the Bearette found this cache after what seemed to be an eternity fighting the hill, the heat and the flies.

Better in autumn when it is cooler and no flies. Had a few problems with some of the stops but made it.

Two travel bugs but only took the american one as it seemed he needed to go further. Don't know where to send him next he has already been to Scotland, Southampton and Cumbria and Spain?

Left tasteful duck fridge magnet
