As part of our geocaching hobby, we sometimes complete CITO events. These are when a large group of people coming together to clean up a local area. I really enjoy doing this even though it can be quite grim at times. That’s how I help the world.
Today we went to two different geocaching events: one in Wakefield and one in Halifax. Both were good and very different – the Halifax one suffered from poor weather, however… It meant we got this little badge to put on your profile. Happy International Geocaching Day! This special day is celebrated every year on the […]
As I’ve been talking about for the last few days, the puzzle caches have proved to be quite a hit with people. However, only half of them have been found so far. I love that people are finding these hard. It really makes the year of planning worthwhile. I really have nothing else to say […]
Yesterday, we had 16 slightly tricky, but not that tricky, mystery caches published. Only one of them has been found so far. I love that it is making people work to grab these caches, but it’s also quite frustrating waiting to see who will claim them first! Come on cachers!
This time last year we completed a fantastic geocaching trail. I wrote about it here recently. This inspired us to create our own, similar series of caches based around TV quiz shows and the money won at each. This has taken us a year of planning to get organised and sort out and today all […]
This evening we archived our first cache series: Flash & Grubbly’s Globberdyke Tour. This was a 3 mile route of 13 caches and a bonus around Gomersal and Cleckheaton. It had been out for just over 3 years and the full route had been completed by 72 cachers altogether – not bad going – most recently […]
This was an article written for UK Cache Mag, which was ultimately never published – although no reason was given for that decision. It concerns a geocaching trail we completed this time last year, and I thought it deserved to be published somewhere. Cache published: 19th July 2012 Found by us: 13th August 2015 Recently, […]
Ilkley Moor is part of Rombalds Moor, the moorland between Ilkley and Keighley in West Yorkshire, England. The moor, which rises to 402 m (1,319 ft) above sea level, is well known as the inspiration for the Yorkshire “county anthem” On Ilkla Moor Baht ‘at. ” order_by=”imagedate” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″]
Today I was part of a team of geocachers who got together to help tidy up Shibden Park in Halifax to complete GC6EYK9: Balsam Bashing. The event was called a CITO – a Cache In, Trash Out – event where geocachers give something back to the environment. The park has had a problem with Himalayan balsam […]
I find it very hard. I struggle to settle when having a lazy day. I like to be doing things instead of not doing things. The problem I have is that niggling thought in the back of my mind that there is a long list of work related jobs that I could be doing. Instead, […]
