Isaac was studying for exams at school all weekend so I opted to go out caching on my own on Saturday and then help him with Maths and the sciences on Sunday. A new series of 19 caches near Codsall looked all too tempting. On Friday while I was wondering where to go caching after [...]

Another evening FTF with the Shropshire Seekers
Posted in General, tagged Gnosall, Stafford on January 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Another evening and another FTF dash with the Shropshire Seekers. There seems to be quite a few new caches coming out at about 7:30pm ish at the moment and I for one are really enjoying both seeing new caches coming out in the area and also a good opportunity for some nighttime caching. I’d missed [...]
Fradley Junction and caching my way home via the ‘scenic’ route

On Sunday we’d planned a day out doing all the new caches in the Fradley Junction area just north of Lichfield, by the A38. There were lots to aim for, with a countryside walk, canal cache series, business park caches and finally some caches set around a wood. Isaac was going to come too, but [...]
Clearing up some Multi’s near to home

I was going to have a day doing non-caching things on Saturday and save caching for a full day out on Sunday. Just after dinner I started to wonder about popping out to clear up a multi cache that has been sat at the very top of our closest to home not founds for too [...]

I was just settling down for the evening when up popped Allun from the Shropshire Seekers on MSN saying a new cache had just been published near Brewood. By the time I’d checked the one cache has multiplied into 4 new caches! Should we go for it knowing some very prolific FTF hounds live so [...]
A FTF dash out in the dark with the Shropshire Seekers

I was at home looking after the children last night while Mrs Bolas Heathens was out, when up popped a new cache towards Stafford. Not long after, Allun from the Shropshire Seekers (who lives in the village nearest to us) popped up on MSN to ask if I fancied a FTF dash for it. Of [...]
A few caches around Stafford

I had to pop into Stafford this morning to pay in some cheques at the bank. Naturally I could not resist the chance to try for the caches we’d missed out on on Sunday due to the flood waters. After I’d been to the bank I drove round to the first one, which was under [...]
Wolverhampton, Stafford, Cannock and finally Gnosall!

We’d left Sunday as our main caching day this weekend and with the snow finally melting, we were looking forward to a full day out and some proper caching, rather than having to pick and choose caches near main roads to avoid the worst of the snow. We planned to start with the new caches [...]
A clearout of new caches in NW Shropshire and a new Earthcache
Posted in General, tagged ellesmere, oswestry, shrewsbury on January 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
On Saturday I was wondering where to go for a few caches after dropping Isaac off at school as we’re saving the main caching day out for tomorrow. A quick check on Memory Map revealed quite a few new caches to do in the NW Shropshire area towards Wem and Ellesmere and mostly out in [...]
Setting a new Earthcache at Haughmond Quarry
Posted in General, tagged earthcache, haughmond hill, shrewsbury on January 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Over the past few weeks we’ve been developing an Earthcache at the new viewpoint overlooking the quarry on Haughmond Hill near Shrewsbury. Every time we walk past the viewpoint we say we must set an Earthcache here so we decided it was time to actually get on and set it! Looking at the maps it [...]
