An event cache in Warrington

Posted in General, tagged on March 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

On Sunday we planned to attend the NW Caching Monthly Meet at Winwick, near Ikea just north of Warrington. We were running behind all morning due to putting the clocks forward an hour last night, so arrived at the event a bit later than planned. Not a problem though and we had a great time. [...]

100+ caches in a day on the Skeg To Ness series

Posted in General, tagged , , , on March 28, 2010 | 1 Comment »

We’ve been umm’ing and ahh’ing about the Skeg To Ness series ever since it came out. It’s advertised as “193 miles and 207 drive by caches” and is basically a route from one side of the UK to the other, via quieter roads, with lots of caches along the way. Initial reports of the series [...]

A day’s walking round two new cache series near Wrexham

We’d planned to do the Marcher Marches Bangor on Dee and Overton on Dee series on Saturday but the weather was awful. A quick check of the weather for Wrexham on the iPhone revealed it was going to be lovely on Sunday. Sun was forecast, which sounded perfect for a day’s walking. Isaac and myself [...]

A wet walk around Badger Dingle

On Saturday I’d planned a walk round two new cache series near Wrexham but on the way to drop Isaac off at school in the morning the weather was absolutely awful with rain just about as hard as it could get. Myself and Isaac thus decided to put the caches off for the day and [...]

Custom cache icons now on the Oregon

Posted in General, tagged , , on March 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I was reading this article which mentions new Beta firmware for the Oregon 550t (available here) which now allows you to add your own custom symbols for waypoints, including replacing all the Geocaching icons used on the unit. I’ve always found the built in geocaching icons to be a bit small and really hard to see when [...]

Some new caches along the River Rea in Shrewsbury

Posted in General, tagged on March 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

On Friday night 14 new caches had been published along the River Rea leading into the centre of Shrewsbury. I’d not bothered with a FTF dash as I knew it would mean I’d be very late back and I had a full day’s caching on Saturday planned anyway. On Sunday afternoon the weather looked lovely [...]

An unplanned but unashamed cache run through north Birmingham

Isaac was at school on Saturday morning so after I dropped him off I planned to make a start on all the new caches that had come out recently in Sandwell Valley Country Park near to J1 of the M5. After I’d done there, I planned on heading east towards Perry Barr to another park [...]

4 FTF’s on a new series with the Shropshire Seekers

Posted in General, tagged , , on March 11, 2010 | 1 Comment »

I was just settling down for the evening last night when I checked my emails and realised 5 new caches had just been published not too far from home. I wonder if Allun from the Shropshire Seekers is around as I bet he’s up for a FTF dash. He was and he was . I [...]

A quick cache in Manchester while on a family day out

Posted in General, tagged , on March 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

On Sunday we were in Manchester for a return visit to the MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry) as we’d not been for absolutely ages and keep seeing it mentioned on the TV. Needless to say it was well worth a trip and we really enjoyed looking round. While we were in the area we [...]

South Birmingham caching, followed by the IQ series

Posted in General, tagged , , , on March 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Isaac did not have to go to school this Saturday so we planned a trip out caching instead. Our idea was to start with some caches near Earlswood, south of Birmingham that were set for a recent event. We then planned a walk round some lovely looking woodland before heading back up the M5 to [...]
