26th May 2011

Another miserable day weather wise so we decided to do drive round and do some geocaching whilst I took Stephen on a trip down memory lane visiting places from my childhood in Cornwall. This stone circle near Duloe, that we stopped at for a cache, was one place though that I'd never been before.

When we were away at Easter we picked up a geocaching travel bug to move on and so this afternoon we decided to combine our daily fresh-air expedition with a quick bit of geocaching to drop it off. The cache was well hidden in the woods but we managed to find it without too much trouble!

In an effort to ignore the fact that today was the last day of the Christmas break we went out for a country walk to do some geocaching and followed it up with lunch out in Sevenoaks. The walk was mostly on footpaths and bridleways running through a private estate and one part took us past a large flock of sheep! They didn't seem too bothered by us though...

This morning we headed out to find a puzzle geocache that Dad had challenged us to calculate the co-ordinates for a while ago, unfortunately we were less prepared on where we needed to park to retrieve the cache and so in the end we just enjoyed a lovely walk in the snow and gave up on the search.

Today we visited Mr W's parents for lunch, having stopped on the way over for a couple of quick 'cache and dashes' to reach our 400th find. This is their lovely new kitchen - it's been a long slog but the end is now in sight which is why Mummy W is looking so smiley!

Whilst Mr W was running the Bakerloo line this morning, I headed out early to try and find some more geocaches to help us reach our goal of 400 by tomorrow. My jaunt took me to Downe where Charles Darwin lived for many years and although he is buried in Westminster Abbey there is a sundial and plaque on the side of St Mary's Church in Downe. I've run past the church many times but never taken the time to stop and look at this memorial to the great naturalist.

I'm on a bit of a mission to find 400 geocaches by the second anniversary of us starting geocaching in November 2008. Unfortunately though we've still got six to find before Sunday and so today I went out at lunch time in search of an 'easy' one close to my office. The hint was that it was behind the face in the railings, unfortunately there were rather a lot of faces and so as I was starting to look a bit suspicious walking up and down the street I had to give up... Looks like I will be out again looking for some local ones tomorrow morning!

We had a very frustrating time this evening looking for a couple of new local geocaches.  They popped up on my phone whilst I was on my way home from work, so I dashed home to pick up the car, returned to the station to collect Mr W straight from his train and then off we went.  But no joy - lots of feeling around metal objects at the first location looking for a magnetic container and lots of scrabbling around the bottom of trees at the second site, yet we still went home without the buzz of a 'first-to-find'.  I guess it serves me right for being so easily distracted from my original plan of going out on my bike!
