I thought I’d resurrect this thread to see if anyone else is still geocaching.
We‘ve been a bit lax in the last twelve months, but have made more of an effort to go out caching recently. There’s a stretch of canal near us which has lots of caches so two weeks ago we did the first 5km finding 9 caches, and then yesterday we did the remaining 5km finding 12. There are still another 3 caches to find at one end so that will keep us busy on another day. There were too many ‘muggles’ as my daughter calls them (non-geocaching folk) making it hard to be stealthy.
At the end of our walk, we met the chap who had created the majority of the caches. A lovely chap, he was telling us he has about 150 caches which he has created and maintains in the region - which I know to be true as I’ve seen most of his caches on the map (and we‘ve found about 50 of them). Some he took over after their creator passed away. Any issues finding his caches and he’d be happy to give us a hint or two.
With a spare hour today, I went out and found a single cache a little over a mile away. My intention was to find a second, however, a hawthorn hedge stopped me from getting to what was I’m sure the correct hiding place. I’ll go back once the hedge has been cut (not on the bike!).
