13th July 2013 – GG65 #3 – Not Very Illuminating! GC4A2AJ – cache #2654
Saturday morning and in my efforts to keep plugging away at those blank dates I decided that while out shopping I would grab a cache… problem is I found I had left my GPS at home and I was in an area with poor to non-existent phone signal (not particularly happy with O2 signal round here… might be a long 2 years before I can switch to a better phone company – or it might just be a crap phone, maybe I should try putting the sim in my old phone to see which it is… but I digress)
