Time for something very different: Caching in the Cotswolds

Posted in General, tagged , on October 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

We could not decide on where to go caching on Saturday. The weather did not look too great all over the UK but seemed it might be better the further south you were. We’d seen a new series of 40 or so caches on a nice looking circular walk in the Cotswold’s come out a [...]

A FTF I was not expecting

Posted in General, tagged on October 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I’ll quote from our log on the cache, which says it all: We’d just arrived at the Tibberton School Halloween Bingo and my iPhone pinged with a new cache notification. I could not believe it as it was only about a mile away. I left Mrs Bolas Heathens doing my bingo cards while I popped [...]

Caching A Plenty Around Redditch

Posted in General, tagged on October 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »

On Saturday we fancied a return visit to the Redditch area just south of Birmingham as there seems to be an explosion of new caches around there at the moment. I thought I’d found a lot in the area last weekend but a quick check of Memory Map revealed a ton more to do. Isaac [...]

A quick trip into Stafford and a quick cache!

Posted in General, tagged on October 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I had to pop into Stafford this afternoon to pay some cheques in at the bank and this cache was on the way into town – how handy. I did the cheques first and then spotted the entrance to the church car park as I drove up the road on the way home. After parking [...]

Canal caching near home

Posted in General, tagged on October 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Over the last few weeks (and days!) several new caches have come out along the Shropshire Union Canal not too far from home. First there was the Wheaton Aston Extension series and then the Canal Walk series near Goldstone came out on Friday night. I had a few hours spare on Sunday afternoon so set [...]

Two Great Circular Walks Near Redditch

Posted in General, tagged on October 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Isaac was at school on Saturday so I decided to go out and do the kind of caching I really like – good walking in great countryside. A series of puzzle caches near Redditch that form a circular walk, followed by another circular walk of traditional caches by the same cache owner looked perfect. I [...]

Our Caching Stats As Of 9 October 2009

Posted in Stats on October 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

We have not run any caching stats for ages so thought it might be fun to see the current status. It’s a bit rough and ready as the milestones need adjusting as it seems to take them in the order you log them so some are not correct. I see it also says we’re one [...]

A quick trip to Birmingham

Posted in General, tagged on October 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I had to pop to the Apple Store in the Bullring in Birmingham as one of our wireless routers in the house packed up suddenly last night. As I was driving down the M6 I was thinking there are no city centre caches left for us to do. I then realised that the Cole Challenge [...]

Cole Challenge Series, Ward End Park and Bescot

Posted in General, tagged on October 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

We’d switched our normal day out caching to Sunday and were looking forward to trying the Cole Challenge, a new set of 16 caches along the banks of the River Cole in E/NE Birmingham. They looked to have lots of sneaky hides and something a bit more of a challenge – just the kind of [...]

Crewe and Nantwich Circular and a few other caches

Posted in General, tagged on October 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

On Saturday, Isaac was at school so we’d planned our main day out caching for Sunday instead. It looked like it was going to be a nice day on Saturday so I decided to head off and try and complete the Crewe and Nantwich Circular series as some of it was on our closest to [...]
