In the bleak mid-winter...

...we ventured out into the sleet and darkness to deposit our first geocache.  We could have picked a better day but at least we were unobserved, or so we thought till a cyclist on his way home appeared.

We managed to work out the GPS and hope that we have the co-ordinates right.  We will just have to wait for someone to find it or complain that they can't.  Or, the bomb squad are alerted to a little yellow box not discretely hid on a fence post.  The thing is we have never actually seen a geocache so we don't know what it should be like.  We have just made it up as we have gone along.  No doubt serious geocachers will put us right.  Are we bothered?  No.




Not sure if we can yet call this fun, but we did make it difficult for ourselves, picking the worse night of the year so far.  We are going to find a Geocache on Friday at dawn, weather permitting.  Least then we will know if what we are doing is about right and will be able to see what we are doing.


We hid it so well, bet you can't find it!

  1. This is the first I've ever heard of Geocaching and after looking up a definition, I've got to say it sounds really fascinating and fun. I love exploring, though unfortunately ill health has stopped me doing too much of it in recent years.

    Britain as a country has so much to offer in terms of culture and landscape. Hope it's proving an enjoyable venture!
