Wimping out…

We were hoping to try the Reelers Trail section of the Witton Weavers Way today but we only got back from NY yesterday and jet-lag finally caught up with us. By the time we had got up it was 11am and way too late to set off for Lancs. Thankfully I had a Plan B, [...]

Last two days in New York

Not a lot to report, caching-wise for the last two days of our stay in New York. On Wednesday, we got up early to go to Times Square and get tickets to see a show on Broadway. On the way, we took the scenic route via the nearest unfound to the hotel which was a [...]

Adventures in New York

We flew to New York on Sunday and have found quite a few caches already. On Sunday we just had a wander around the area near our hotel (just opposite Madison Square Garden). The nearest cache was a Traditional but we could not find it as the GPSr’s would not settle with all the big [...]

Witton Weaver Way: The Beamers Trail and Hoghton Secions

Posted in General on February 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

On Saturday Isaac and myself decided to try the Beamers Trail as it looked the shortest of the ones left to do and we did not want to be late home as we need to pack for our trip to NY tomorrow. We’ve never been to this part of Blackburn before, but thankfully Isaac’s navigating [...]

After making a start on the Witton Weavers Way series of caches last weekend, I could not wait to get some more found so decided Thursday would be perfect for the next section we were looking at – the Tacklers Trail. I wanted to make an early start so decided to stop overnight near Darwen, [...]

New York, New York

We’re off for a short break in the Big Apple this Sunday and can’t wait. There are not exactly a ton of caches to do, but enough to keep us busy in between other, more touristy things. We’ve got US Topo Maps on our GPSr’s so that bit is easy. We would like Memory Map [...]

Witton Weavers Way – Warpers Trail

Posted in General on February 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Last weekend, a HUGE series of Letterboxes came out on the moorland between Bolton and Blackburn. They are all situated along a long distance walking track, known as the Witton Weavers Way. This is then split up into bite sized chunks, making for an easier way of deciding where to start on the 157 caches! [...]

The scenic route to the in-laws

Posted in General, tagged , on February 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

We were due at the in-laws for a nice Sunday dinner today but could not resist taking the ‘scenic’ route via the north side of Wolverhampton to bag two caches that have been on our radar for way too long. The first one was near Autherly Junction, where the Shropshire Union canal meets the Staffordshire [...]

Much Hoole and Chorley Clear-Up

Posted in General, tagged , on February 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

This weekend, we decided to head up to just about the northernmost extremity of our days caching zone: the area just south of Preston. We’d seen the caches in Much Hoole come out for the NW Caching event that was held there a few weeks ago (too far for us to go just to attend [...]
