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, […]

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 conducted the Morley & District Concert Band at Dartmouth Park, Morley – our local park. Lots of fun was had, even in the intermittent rain! Thanks to everyone who came to support us.
Apart from playing music for people in glorious sunshine, it takes a great deal of organisation to make a concert happen. It begins way back in January with many a phone call to allocate which bands play where. My sister takes charge of this and does a good job too. We have two concerts, one was […]
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 […]
Just over 100 days ago – 101 to be precise – I posted this article. I’m not a massive Facebook user anymore. It has become something that I look at regularly but quickly leave again because I get frustrated with my feed. Facebook, over the last few days, have developed their like button into additional […]
A long time ago, in what feels like a galaxy far away, which was actually Morley in the early 21st Century, I played this piece of music as part of my A-Level recital alongside Mrs Wilkinson (?), one of the music teachers. I recall rehearsing this for months but realised recently that it had been […]
