I was working two Sarurdays in a row, so to avoid two six day weeks I took a Wednesday off in between the two… What to do ?
A trip to Harrogate was the answer, was it to go shopping, or was it to get the new Lab caches ?

Groundspeak have put out a locationless cache that they are archiving at the end of 2023, so I decided that as I only (!) need 825 caches to get to my next milestone I can, with a bit of planning and effort get to 8,000 before the end of the year and get the location less cache as my milestone.

Best get on with it then !

I’ve often said that the only way I will fill January on the grid is to have an event every day so I can get a smiley sat in the pub, as it turned out I didn’t need to do it that way

I had a list of all the local (ish) Lab caches and other caches and they tallied up with the number of days left to fill, so it was a practical proposition that wasn’t going to be to hard to do

In 2020 I had this idea of filling my calendar grid by doing Lab caches individually rather than all in one day, but it hadn’t worked out then.
So this year, there are a load of new Lab caches so I decided to try again doing one cache or Lab on the empty calendar days

As usual I went for my annual weekend away in Hunstanton (Norfolk), and found there a cache that was missing last year as well as a few new ones.

I decided that I had better have a Covid booster, so went onto the website to find the nearest place I could have one on a Saturday morning, this turned out to be in a very Asian part of Bradford, so I decided as I was not part of that community it might not be the place to go, so I chose the second nearest… in Greengates.
Greengates is next to Idle, and there is a set of Lab caches in Idle, so I headed their after being vaccinated
