Tried to do this series, but fell at the 3rd cache. Did not help having a farmer decide to do running repairs on his tractor 30ft from where we were looking. Gave up but will return!
We revisited a “did not find” cache whilst out and about Sunday afternoon. On the way we made some new friends! The footpath seemed to go straight through their field but we decided to go the long way ’round. The GPS took us to the same spot as before but this time we widened our search area, Jane quickly found the cache!
Looby was out with a friend so we decided to spend Sunday afternoon finding cache’s in Letchworth, including a first to find!
Completed a series of 7 (6+bonus) caches around the village of Bourn nr Cambridge. One of the cache’s was in a children’s play area, after a few minutes of arriving we were pounced on by a concerned local who thought we were council officals inspecting the playground! Whilst Jane kept her head down trying to hide her giggling, I was given a guided tour of the area and it’s problems. I didn’t have the heart to dash the poor woman’s hopes and played along, taking note of the issues. I wonder if it is illegal to impersonate a council worker? We also got a couple of feet away from a young fox on our ramblings, we stood and watched each other for what seemed ages. Here’s Jane doing her troll impression…
We observed Tuddles and Mr Worry hunt down Lobby’s 1st, they found it quicker than we did on our last visit! Then off to Stepple Morden to do a few more cache’s.
Walked along the canal from Kings Cross and managed to complete all 5 caches we set out to find. Now off to Camden Market followed by the Science Museum!
A quick cache now we are home to drop off some holiday Geocoins and chalk up our 250th cache. Jane found it, pity she was not strong enough to open the ammo box!
Popped over the border into Bude to find the sunshine. Finished the day catching, once again geocachers round here must be built like mountain goats! Jane had to look the other way to save her nerves while I scrambled across the clifftop sticking my hand into any rabbit holes which might contain the cache. As there was no rain or wind today I did manage to get it, hurray! p.s. No Lorna it is not a stuffed seagull!
Finally our luck changed and we were able to drop off our TB’s (and picked up a couple more to bring home) in Croyde. We parked 0.2 miles from the cache but unfortunately it was mostly vertical! Pop Quiz: Croyde bay was used for the cover of the Pink Floyd album ‘A Momentary Lapse of Reason’ (the one with all the beds on the beach), I’m pretty sure it was pre Photoshop i.e no camera trickery!
Bloody hell! You need to be a mountain goat to do caches ’round here! It was blowing a gale and chucking it down when we attempted GCME0B in Mortehoe. We were not prepared to risk life and limb climbing down a cliff so retreated back to a dry car. Had to walk past a cliff top cemetery, very spooky!
