I have managed to find a cache yesterday and two today. I read someone's caching blog where they have set themselves the challenge of finding one cache every day for 100 consecutive days. Well I have managed two days in a row, I wonder how many more I can do in a row!! Doubt I could make 100 but it is worth a go. Trouble is I am running out of local ones to do before or after work during the week, so will have to plan carefully.
Just seen a new one come on line tonight which is right near where I work. Now do I get just that one or do I get another one nearby? Hmm, that might actually depend on how much time I will have, particularly if I plan to go before work which I am!
Tonight I went off for three caches and to give Millie a walk too. It gets boring going round our local woods every night, so it is nice to have a change of scenery as often as possible. The first one I went after was uphill - Plumberow Mount with a little mound at the top. There were some lovely views across the countryside. Unfortunately there were a couple of lager louts loitering right by where I thought the cache might be so I could not get to have a look even, just turned around and went back downhill. Millie had a great time running up and down with a log to throw around and chew. We popped into the car and drove a short way to nab two easy ones. The first had a DNF from November 2009 and nothing logged since so I was not too hopeful about finding it. But lo and behold it was an easy find. Funny how that goes sometimes it is dead easy, sometimes what everyone else has logged as an easy find can take me ages to locate. Anyway signed the log and started trekking up another hill to the next one. There was a lovely carpet of spring flowers on the ground, not bluebells, these were white. Not sure what they are called. There were limited views from the top of this hill. The cache was in a great hiding place. It was in the top of a telegraph pole that was hollow at the top but the cache owner had placed a little lid on top with the cache inside. Very neat.
About Me
- a1nnie
- I am a happily married mother of three young adults. I love creating things and have lots of hobbies. We have two dogs, a 4yr old boxer called Diesel, and a 4yr old springer spaniel crossed with a golden retriever called Millie She is so black it is hard to see her in poor lighting and difficult to take photos of her indoors, even in a studio. We also have a cat - India. I actually got a book of cats names before deciding on India's name - she is as black as Indian ink. My latest interest is Geocaching. Check it out if you like going for hikes, finding new areas to walk and doing treasure hunts. Some caches are easy and some require a little working out of a puzzle. It is great fun, and a bit challenging when walking a dog at the same time, juggling lead, pen, cache container, walking stick and geocaching bag. Imagine all that AND climbing a tree too, or diving into a bush!
