Adventures of a Bolas Heathen

We had to go to the Jeep dealership in Stoke this afternoon, so decided to pick off a few of the Newcastle-under-Lyme caches on the way home. The first was one of the caches in a series about famous writers and the Potteries. The co-ords took us to a house on a very ordinary street, [...]

I was just settling down for the evening after work when up popped some new caches in Baschurch. Hmmm – too hard to get to to go and find them now as it’s narrow, windy country lanes virtually all the way. Then two new ones popped up in Stafford. Tempting, but still a bit far [...]

We were due to drop the children off at their Grandparents near Blymhill for the afternoon, but could not resist taking in the nearby new Wheaton Aston caches while we were there. We stopped to pick Grandpa up on the way and were soon parking up by the lovely church in Wheaton Aston. The first [...]

On Saturday we decided to have a return trip to the lovely Clent Hills to the South West of Birmingham. A new series, themed on the old TV show, The Waltons, had come out on nearby Walton Hill (not quite Walton’s Mountain, but it’s a lovely location nonetheless) and the National Trust has put out [...]

This weekend, we could not decide where to go caching. I was toying with the idea of a return visit to Poynton and then on to the new caches in Hazel Grove and Gatley but was not convinced as they were virtually all micros (not our favourite size cache). Myself and Isaac were looking at [...]

Our Jeep Challenge was unfortunately muggled a while ago so we were keen to put out a replacement. We’d been in contact with some cachers in that area who work the land there and despite them asking around, no-one was admitting to taking the cache. They have their suspicions though! Anyway, between us we developed [...]

We fancied a day out on Bank Holiday Monday and whilst looking for things to do in South Shropshire, we spotted that the Green Man Festival was on in Clun all weekend. Clun is right in deepest South West Shropshire and not the easiest place to get to, but the countryside is absolutely beautiful in [...]

On Sunday afternoon, I was due to go over and meet my business partner who lives in Florida, but was on a flying visit to the UK, staying at his parents house in Saughall. I set off a bit early to try and bag a few caches on the way as it’s ages since we’ve [...]
