Segredos do Ursinho Puff.

Visitors gone, work nearly finished, time for you to start packing your suitcase. I took you for a stroll along the Thames Path from Chiswick to Richmond. I archived most of my caches along there. Time for a refresh. Found them all despite some recent DNFs. Stopped by the pub they used in the Ted Lasso TV show. ⚽️

Out hunting for caches in the Greater Wimbledon area of London today when I spotted a famous Womble sitting on a park bench. The Wombles are fictional pointy-nosed, furry creatures created by the author Elisabeth Beresford from 1968. They live in burrows, where they aim to help the environment by collecting and recycling rubbish in creative ways. Although Wombles supposedly live in every country in the world, Beresford's stories are primarily concerned with the lives of the inhabitants of the burrow on Wimbledon Common in London, England. ♻️

I was tasked with occupying my friend today. His wife is working London and he is bored. She thought he might like to try geocaching. I knew that he would not - he hates to be dirty and loves his clothes. To be fair, he gave it a good shot while we walked around the ‘wilds’ of Battersea Park, London. Then we had a late lunch at Battersea Power Station. 🥗

I was tricked not taking you on a trip to Barnehurst, south London, today. “It’s a first to find”, they said. “It’s a challenge cache”, they said. “It’s a high D/T”, they said. “Bring your tree pole”, they said. Didn’t mention that I don’t qualify. So that’s my good deed for the day. 😇

We wandered out to a village called Charlton in Surrey, west of London. It’s dominated by the bank of the Queen Mary Reservoir, one of the largest of London's reservoirs supplying fresh water to London and parts of surrounding counties. I don’t think much happens here but the caches were excellent. 🚿
