It could be in quite a busy place, but it wasn&#8217;t too busy this morning.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>GC17FH5 &#8211; Chester City Cache &#8211; Looking Up: A multi-cache where 6 places needed to be visited in order to find a final location. We&#8217;d visited these previously and this was collecting the final cache.<\/li>\n<li>GC1KNRB &#8211; Phooning around in Chester: Another simple cache, nothing special really.<\/li>\n<li>GC414CC &#8211; <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Harvey's\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Harvey%27s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Harvey&#8217;s<\/a> Chester Pen Pal: This was nicely hidden by Chester race course.<\/li>\n<li>GC2P92V &#8211; Chester Grunge Cache: Not a very nice place in town &#8211; this was by the pebble dashed barriers.<\/li>\n<li>GC3W872 &#8211; Chester City Cache &#8211; Return of the Plaque: This was another multi-cache as above. We&#8217;d visited the locations yesterday and picked up the final before stopping for lunch.<\/li>\n<li>GC44AV5 &#8211; A Country Cache &#8211; This was a puzzle which, frankly was quite hard and I couldn&#8217;t really solve. The cache owner ended up being lovely and providing the final coordinates for us.<\/li>\n<li>GCJMKZ &#8211; Freeview Zoo: The cache here was on the public bridleway that splits <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Chester Zoo\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chester_Zoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Chester Zoo<\/a> in two. Hey, that rhymes.<\/li>\n<li>GC2H2NT &#8211; Pretty Bridge: This was indeed a pretty bridge. There was a fisherman just underneath, either fishing or pretending to be a troll. It&#8217;s hard to say.<\/li>\n<li>GC4DRT7 &#8211; Newton Hollows: The closest cache to our bed &amp; breakfast. An easy find.<\/li>\n<li>GC43J7Z &#8211; Park Life: Hidden in a Victorian Park by the River Dee. No problems finding this one. Grabbed while waiting for a free table at a local eatery.<\/li>\n<li>GC3MZ9E &#8211; <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"The Groves\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Groves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">The Groves<\/a>: The last of the day also while waiting for food. This was hard to grab as it was right by the river when the local rowing club were getting ready to go on the river.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My feet hurt.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/2013\/07\/day-211-chester-zoo\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/189557325_80_80.jpg?w=1165\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" href=\"http:\/\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/2013\/07\/day-211-chester-zoo\/\" target=\"_blank\">Day 211: Chester Zoo<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/kindredspiritandco.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/29\/our-first-geocache-hunt\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/189257015_80_80.jpg?w=1165\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" href=\"http:\/\/kindredspiritandco.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/29\/our-first-geocache-hunt\/\" target=\"_blank\">Our First Geocache Hunt!!<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/1tuffcookie.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/21\/cache-and-dash\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/188434710_80_80.jpg?w=1165\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" href=\"http:\/\/1tuffcookie.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/21\/cache-and-dash\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cache and Dash<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/1tuffcookie.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/30\/keeping-from-caching-until-august-isnt-going-too-well\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/189485497_80_80.jpg?w=1165\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" href=\"http:\/\/1tuffcookie.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/30\/keeping-from-caching-until-august-isnt-going-too-well\/\" target=\"_blank\">Keeping from caching until August isn&#8217;t going too well.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?w=1165\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we&#8217;ve \u00a0wandered around Chester a lot &#8211; visited shops and seen sights.
