Stiles; the bane of my life! Big QC loves climbing them, but have you tried getting a buggy over one?
We were faced with this huge stile last week. You also had to be careful of the barbed wire strung across the top.
How do we manage stiles when it is just Little QC and myself out caching?
1. Approach stile and sigh
2. Unstrap Little QC and climb over the stile with him
3. Place him on the ground and climb back over the stile
4. Get the buggy and hoist it over the stile. Our buggy weighs in at 18lbs
5. Climb over the stile
6. Retrieve Little QC from a puddle/nettles/tree...and remove leaves/sticks/berries from hand
7. Fight to strap him back in the buggy
8. Walk on!
This was Little QC at the Old Stile Cache in Axford.
oof what a performance
ReplyDeletebeing an old lady with dodgy knees, my method of climbing over a stile mainly involves going ow! ow! ow! ow!, so I'm not overly keen on them either
