Description EN

Although the cache location itself is nothing out of the ordinary, it's located on the Black and White Trail which starts in nearby Leominster. The village of Dilwyn (just down the lane) features on this tour or some of the prettiest villages in Herefordshire along with the neighbouring Weobley, Eardisland and Pembridge. You can get leaflets about the trail from the Tourist information centre in Leominster.

Also nearby is Dunkerton's Cider Mill where you can sample cider made from local apples (including those you can just see from the cache site) and a Cheese making outfit at Monkland.

The cache itself is a large ammo box, clearly labelled.

Please park your car with consideration as it is a very narrow lane, I would suggest parking outside the double gates at the north end of the adjacent garden, being careful not to block the farm track. The owner of the house has given his permission for you to park there!!!

If you have time, you are very welcome to drop in for a cuppa and a chat (hence the cache title). My phone number is inside the front cover of the logbook or just walk down the garden path and take pot luck. If you meet Sam (the dog), he's
very friendly, especially with children, but get a bit boisterous so be prepared for a warm, wet welcome.

This replaces the original listing on GC.com which now refers to a nearby micro cache (containing details of this one!). The cache is also listed on Terracaching.com

21 October 2009 Lord Darcy Found it

Having found Luvverly Leominster, a just a short drive was necessary to get to this one. The cache was soon found (nice big ammo box

). Dropped off a couple of GeoKrety (http://geokrety.org).

Many thanks to 'The Hornet' for the cuppa, the chat, and the cache.

15 October 2009 martlakes Found it

Down in Kington for a holiday with the folks. Couldn't miss the chance for a free cuppa! Having seen the Hornet's note about alternatives to GC I've now signed up and even hidden a cache.

We enjoyed our trip to Herefordshire and it was great to call in, find the micro and then the big box, with a chat and a cuppa inbetween. Also did the nearby Eardisland multi, which was very good, and we walked over the excellent Hergest Ridge but we'd left the cache info at home!

So, thanks for the brew, chat, caches and intro to an alternative site.

Cheers

07 September 2009 BillMex Found it

Found this cache by locating Geocache HHH1a while holidaying with friends in Hereford. I've never come across Opencaching.org.uk so this seemed like a good time to sign up and log the find.

Nice straightforward offset cache with a super size bonus box.

Left a windy coin TB in the cache.

Logged on 23/08/2009 after having been found earlier in the month.

This was the start of a two day TerraCaching trip to Leominster and points north, and I opened my front door to a very grey dawn. And as I walked round to the shed where I keep my motor-bike I felt a spot or two of rain.

Never mind, the forecast was good, so I wouldn't bother with my full wet gear; as long as I keep moving the windscreen keeps the worst off. But by the time I had stowed my bags it was raining quite hard. I set off, and before I reached the end of the road it was torrential! Full wet gear WAS required.

It was so heavy going round the M25 that I couldn't even see the lane markings, and it didn't ease up at all until I was well past Oxford.

Frankly, I needn't have bothered with the wet gear, for all the good it did. I stopped to do a Groundspeak cache at Chipping Norton, took off my sodden gloves and the water streamed out of my sleeves. And it had soaked down my neck. This was the wettest I've been on a bike for years!

But eventually the rain stopped and the sun came out. I was starting to dry out, but was still a pretty damp and uncomfortable cacher when I arrived here. First things first; before going to look for the cache I was able to hang up my motor-cycle gear to dry in the sun, change my shirt and sit down in that lovely sunshine for the eponymous cuppa.

Feeling reinvigorated after my rest and refreshment, the cache was no problem. Signed the log, took nothing, and left one of my signature torches.

Thanks for a super cache,

Rgds, Andy
