My Sister and nieces – The Twirlagirls from Wiltshire, were up visiting and we had that Sunday would consist of a visit to Stump Cross Caverns and Brimham Rocks… as the weather forecast was for showers in the morning and a sunny afternoon we went to the caves first (and for once the weather forecast was accurate, it poured it down in the morning and was lovely and sunny in the afternoon !)

Team MX (otherwise known as Dave) has a bit of a thing about doing old caches, caches set in the first couple of years of Geocaching’s existence, and he was looking for someone to go with him on a quest to the Scottish border to find a couple of caches placed in July 2001.

First of all I didn’t find a Survey Monument YSM042 – Walpole St Peters. This Trig Point is on Private Land in somebody’s garden and can’t be seen from the road for the thick hedge surrounding the garden… So unfortunately I couldn’t even get to see to it to log it as a find  Continue reading →

It’s amazing how many of my friends are now cachers, on a camping weekend with people from all over there were Caticehurst, UKCacheMag, Hublander, Beaniebabe28, Stucuk & TT and while we were talking about it we got another couple interested, Giles and Jackie – who got their phone out, sigend up on the website, downloaded the geocaching app and came out caching with Adam (UKCacheMag) and myself to find their first few caches. we started off with some local drivebys on the way from the camping ground to King’s Lynn town centre
