Its still raining, windy as well today, tower crane is winded off i.e. unsafe to lift loads due to the wind , so the driver just sits up in his cab, twiddling his thumbs for the rest of the day.

Job for today is concrete pour to level 15 of block B, up that high, i think it is 45m up above the ground level, the wind howls across, on a clearday we can see peel tower above ramsbottom, Kinder scout, Mow cop near kidsgrove, Alderley edge, and even Fiddlers Ferry power station on the far side of warrington some 35miles away.

great view,

only today it isn't clear, low cloud and drizzle and rain, horrible, nowhere to hide. but at least I can come down and dry out for a bit in the cabin, not like the concrete gang who are pouring now, 132m of concrete to lay, vibrate and level, should be all placed by 3pm then 2 of them stay on to power float the slab, they will probably be on it to midnight with all the water there is falling from the sky ...



Caching



well yesterday, thursday, found 2 in the morning,
first one was Prickly Pine and second a revisit to find Sound Asleep which i DNF'd earlier in the week.

Parked on Gibralter Lane, which is an unadopted road that runs steeply down to the river Tame and the recent weather has cut deep groogves in the gravel caused by the water run off.

Prickly pine was a quick find under a small pine tree(surprise surprise) then back to car and the other way to Sound Asleep, found it straight away in a totaly different place than where the gps wasshowing last time. would have been easy to spot a few months back but new growth has hid the hiding place well, good though now only 3 sound series left.



Also Pengy and Tigger were out and about and repaired my Piccadilly village people cache, thanks Girls..

Today was a disaster, tried at Reddish Vale to get sound of Birdsong and Sound footing, Couldnt find Sound of birdsong just one of thoise days no joy whatsoever, on to sound footing andcouldnt even get to the area as the field and paths were flooded ankle deep, so 2 DNF's,
I won't be going back to complete them until there has been a dry spell, too many other caches to do..

think it will be the WLT series next week.

that is 1033 finds
133 DNF's
Ratio = 1Dnf every 7.8 caches found not great will continue to monitor here.
