Today

where was that?

A place far far away

Today was very nearly the worse day of my geocaching career. Imagine a 140 mile round trip plus 1.5 mile walk for a 5* difficulty cache only found twice before and arriving at the GZ to find a combination lock that you've totally forgotten to bring the required code for.GC5YZBQ

Nailed it! Tracy took me there for my birthday. Loved the Star Wars scenes, the pic in the previous post was just one of many. Most of the figures throughout the whole museum were so perferct, Marie Tussaud and the artists since her have exceptional skills. My favourite of all of the wax works though was not one of the Star Wars ones, but of Amy Winehouse, someone who drapes my desktop wallpaper at work for a few days when I have have been downing way to many to try and remind me to cut back.

The pic below, whilst I may look like shite, I had been clean for just over a week. I think even sparklefingers can vouch that I had a mug of cream topped hot choc at the Lydford Locators event. Sadly lapsed again since. Kudos to pigdogboyandgirls



Sadly I haven't cached since. I logged the one TC LC with the photo I took of a Tardis. Since then I have been deeply into work. I have "found" a newish cache near the KFC in the part of Ciren I work, when popping out at lunch for a bite, but haven't signed the log yet, so not logged. And that is it.


It's great to get out walking with the family isn't Yorkshire Yellow Other than with one of my sons for some extreme caching/cache revisiting, I do very little with my family. Unfortunately the rest of them do not like to walk the amount I do. I hope you had a great time, even though the couple of DNFs.

I feel for you WindpumpBoy , well done for managing to piece it together in the field and getting that find!

Saturday - a cold and blowy family walk along Brean Down, bagging the 4x trads and the earthcache, but not attempting the Whereigo.

I'm trying to get that work/life/time to play balance right. last couple of weeks we've worked hard at some of the things needing doing over the weekend and then gone out to play a bit on the Monday. Plans for that got scuppered this week though with the wind causing a bit of a nuisance by blowing over a couple of trees in the mother in laws garden. I've spent the last couple of days with chainsaw and axe creating firewood. Hope to get out next weekend.

Also have plans to take Mrs WPB away for Valentines for a romantic night at the Holiday Inn in Colchester. The fact that I've got a few puzzle caches solved in the area has nothing to do with the decision

Congrats on reaching that milestone higster
