There are a number of caches that invite you to take a walk around a town and gather clues at particular points which are combined to make up the co-ordinates of the final cache. To tell the truth I can never be bothered with doing this type of cache. There is one of this type in Bradford, so rather than walk it I set out to see if it was possible to solve the clues using Google – using satellite view, street view and the normal search engine.

Not being employed means that I have more time to go out caching than I have previously had, so I am gradually finding all the local caches… my aim is to get back to having no caches within the 5 mile radius… a thing I managed in 2010 but have let slip since Continue reading →

My annual Autumn trip to Hunstanton in Norfolk (see 850, 1,250 & 2,000 caches ago). This time I did not do any caching on the way down, mainly because I was going via Nottingham, and there weren’t any suitable drive-by’s on my route !

2nd November 2012 – Don’t Look Down! GC33J1T – cache #2179
I really don’t like mud, so what the hell am I doing out walking in it ? – That was a thought I had many times as I walked from the car park to a cache that looked from the description like it would be difficult enough in nice dry conditions.
The path to the cache was an ankle deep bog in many places, and what made it worse was that the boggiest places were often disguised by a fresh covering of yellow oak and beech leaves making it actually quite pretty, but horribly muddy underfoot. Continue reading →
