Andoversford (View & Geocache)


We drove from the Kilkenny Viewpoint and parked outside a shooting school we got ourselves ready and crossed the very busy road. Went through a field and then into a small forest with very tall trees ahead of us we saw a brilliant view through a gap. We went through a gate at the end and found the first geocache (CCCC 44: Dave Bird). We then walked on in the wrong direction so had to turn back and take the correct route down a small path we found the next geocache (CCCC 45: Julian Alsop) after finding that one we carried on walking and got to the next gate and decided to go round the field instead of through it a bit drier as it was raining we saw something funny on a tree and took a closer look and saw someone painted an eye on. We got to another gate and decided to go back and up because we don’t like walking through fields with cows in. We got back up the hill and sat on a bench as it stopped raining and enjoyed the growing view as the sun started to shine. We then walked back to the car. It’s a walk to experience.

Kilkenny Viewpoint


This is a short post just to say about Kilkenny Viewpoint. It’s a short easy walk with easy parking and a brilliant view of Cheltenham great place to let the dogs off when it’s empty there’s a few picnic benches around so take a packet of crisps and a drink to enjoy the view. The pictures do no justice for the live view.
