As this seems to have died a death I thought I'd kick it off again.

So - things to eat while caching - or things to eat that you collect while caching.......

Wild garlic is always very nice, bit past now but a spring freebie to smell out for!

But let's not forget the autumn favourite. Sloes a nice batch of sloe gin to get you through the darkest months.

Come August/September - the blackberries are always welcome on a long caching walk.

After the blackberries it's hazel nuts for me if squirrels don't live nearby and sweet chestnuts where the squirrels do live .

I ate a few juicy new hawthorn leaves in the spring ,used to call it bread and cheese wnen I was a young country child .

Last year, picked loads of Damsons, Bullases, Blackberries raspberries and Bilberries.

Always nice to fill the larder with jam and pie fillings.

All at cache sites as well.

Elderberries, for the wine, which if well made is a deep red, strong, and delicious one, and earlier in the year elderflowers, for, well, the wine, lol... :cheers:
