Easter Monday, and I decided that I needed a little ‘me’ time, and also decided that I needed to do some caching cos I’ve been really slow at it so far this year.
I checked out all the YOSMs. Virtuals, Earthcaches and Church Micros in the North of England trying to make a route up that was under 200 miles and took in enough of these to make it fun – other caches optional as really these days the caches I like doing are the aforementioned types.
