Today was spent getting things ready for being back in school next week. Nothing very interesting went on to be honest. I haven’t watched a huge amount of TV, but listened to a lot of music. I made a few tweaks to the Grange Moor site too, but that is pretty much good to go […]
100 days ago we, Mrs Pitts and I, started a bit of a challenge by accident. This was to break our geocaching streak record. Before this July it stood at 50 days straight of finds. It currently stands at 100 consecutive days of finds. On the 10th July we found the first of these caches […]
As with other months, we’ve been quietly working on filling up our geocaching calendar. Today, we filled up September, giving us six months now with no gaps: This leaves 111 days left to fill, just over 30% of the year. The winter months, though, tend to be more difficult as the nights draw in quickly […]
Well, that was interesting… the thing I expected to happen today didn’t happen. I was all prepared as well. Anyway, work was good today. Plenty of fabulous things going on, nothing amazing but good, solid work. The highlight of the evening was a special geocache, one that reminds us both of why we do this […]
OK, now I can stop wittering on about the countdown to 1000 finds, since the day has come to grab it. Here’s the log about the cache. We can’t quite recall when we first learnt about this cache, but it was a fair old while ago. 890 days ago, on 25th March 2011, we discovered […]
You know that feeling when you wish you’d never started something? Well, that. I’ll come back to that in a minute. Most of today was spent doing things for work. Lots of little jobs, but vital ones really – they needed doing at some point. I won’t bore you with the details. We completed one […]
16 more caches today to take us up to 949 finds. Lots of driving around too. It makes this month our second best ever after August 2011 where we found 141 caches. The problem we have is that we can’t possibly beat it due to our self imposed limit to reach 1000 by the end […]
Today we completed nine caches on International Geocaching Day. International Geocaching Day is celebrated around the world on the third Saturday of August. This year International Geocaching Day also falls on the 17th day of 31 Days of Geocaching. Congratulations! By earning this souvenir, you have joined tens of thousands of geocachers in a global […]
Yet another lovely holiday day doing very little. This morning I got a hair cut, smashed some glass at the bottle banks, paid a cheque in at the actual bank and picked up a parcel from the post office. This parcel contained all the things we needed to put out our latest three caches – […]
Having attended a recent geocaching event to meet up with local cachers, we gathered some information to get our first 5/5 cache (GC47ENM). This probably means nothing to most readers, so here’s an explanation. Each cache is rated from 1 to 5 for its difficulty and the terrain it is located within to give a […]
