Please release me

We released our first cache today, and it was approved within a couple of hours! We’d tried to release it yesterday, but just as we were placing it we noticed that the paint wasn’t sticking properly, so we brought it home again, sanded and repainted it and had another go.

It rained quite hard this morning, which got the ground really claggy to walk on. As we walked across the fields to our chosen site we found the soil clinging to the soles of our boots, until I was apparently wearing platform wellies and Ned’s hiking boots had 3-inch heels. We ended up laughing till we cried as suddenly a clod would fall off and we were left walking lopsidedly having nearly broken an ankle plummeting down to our normal altitude. Our giggles startled the local wildlife, and we were thrilled to see both deer and a hare, to the musical accompaniment of a soaring skylark.

I wonder who will be the first to find it? It’s really quite exciting!

Edit: Crumbs! It's been found already!
