Big day today, went and checked out a farm for next years big event, and they signed the contract, so I've started the process for the next 'South Sheep 2016'.
On the way from there to Sparsholt College for a workshop, grabbed a Fine Pair and Stonehenge, and when I say grab I mean drive by and take picture with stones in the background with glasses in hand in front, (Not going to pay £15 to go in and do it).
Also grabbed another YOSM after workshop at Sparsholt, really nice Monument.
Out today in Marshfield, picked up a few CM multi's and puzzle caches, lovely walk with Mrs H and the billy Geohound, then a nice piece of cake in the coffee shop

Stonehenge virtual logging requirements appear to have changed since I did it. I had to take a photo by two stones in the parking lot. I begrudged paying the £3 for the parking as I was only going to be there for seconds as was not going to visit the main circle, but the parking attendant wouldn't waver it for me.

Have you found many Church Micro's? I am not a CM chaser but have found a few. I found my furthest one yesterday Littleham - St Margaret&Andrew and before hand we stopped in a little coffee chop / pub too just around the corner from it for breakfast which we ate outside as it was a gorgeous morning.
Found a handful of other caches too over the past week whilst be down that way, but didn't get to do the one I had my eye on... Boats Only Beaches #2: Otter Cove. Travelled light, no floating devices with us. Sussed the non-sailing route abanazar took, but because out with the family in the surrounding areas each day wasn't in the right place at a low enough tide. On the Thursday spoke to the captain of a tour boat we were on who consulted his navigational equipment for tide times and said we'd get back to near that cove for about an hour and half after lowest tide, but he suggested not to climb down and around to it then as the tide comes in and fills it up very quickly.
Would love to hear if any other Cotswold Cachers ever do this one. For reference I was going to climb down from near THIS cache. There is a wooden fence with signs on saying no access to beach, and it is a very steep drop, but nothing compared to other stretches of the nearby cliffs.

The car park you used, is no longer there, it's all moved because they shut down and removed that road it was on. Because of that, and the changes the CO had to update the requirements. Still a popular cache with 582+ FPs.
Gackt Have completed 320 CM's in the 2 years of caching, Mrs H loves the multi CM's because of the history, and I really enjoy the churches, it's just a shame all the caches seem to be the same 35mm film canister. I have Boats only on my wish list which is growing all the time

Wow, a lot of changes around there then. Thank you for the update. I see on the cache page that the Co has said they may have to update the page again sometime.
