Monday morning, the (rather drunken and lack of sleeping) weekend over and it was time for the drive home, via another leg of the Skeg to Ness route and some more caches. I went from Kings Lynn up to Boston and then onto the StN route at the delightfully named village of Mavis Enderby

8th November 2011 – Skeg to Ness #12 GC21VHY – cache #961
The first cache I stopped at was about a mile further down the road and was a letterbox cache, I’ve never been sure what a letter box cache is, some older form of similar pasttime to caching where you had a rubber stamp hidden for the ‘cache’ and stamped your letterboxing book accordingly. It just seemed like an ordinary cache to me, hidden under stickoflage in the base of a tree in a little copse, easy enough to find Continue reading →

7th November 2011 – Village Life – Castle Rising GC28MEB – cache #953
Sunday, and again I had a couple of hours to fill, so again I went for a drive around the villages caching, Castle Rising is an old village with a nearby castle, and a village green, which has on it a war memorial and a couple of trees. in the roots of one of the trees, hidden by a stone, is a largish pine cone, which has a micro-cache inserted into it Continue reading →

6th November 2011 – Sunny Hunny GC1G4HR – cache #947
On the Saturday morning in Hunstanton I had to take a walk to the shops, so used the walk as an opportunity to find the two caches in the town.
The first one was hidden in the fork of a tree on a green overlooking the sea, fortunately there was a convenient bench to sit on and look at the view while signing the log. Continue reading →

For more years than I care to remember I have spent one or two weekends a year down in the Kings Lynn / Hunstanton area with friends from all over the country, so I’ve driven the route from home to Kings Lynn 30 times or more and quite enjoy taking my time pottering through all the little villages in Lincolnshire and Norfolk that had the main road (A17) going through them when I first started going but are now by-passed. However, I’ve been along those roads three times before since I started geocaching and there aren’t many nearby caches that I haven’t looked for. So for my annual Autumn pilgrimage to Hunstanton this year I planned a new route which took in part of the Skeg to Ness series of caches Continue reading →

November 1st 2010 – Another Weir’d one…. GC2HG8T – cache #924
Possibly the brightest coloured cache I’ve ever found. A lunchtime caching expedition in the Autumn sunshine, the cache is by a little park and there were lots of kids playing on the slides and swings and bigger ones playing on the skateboard ramps. The cache though is just out of sight of these so no problem remaining unseen.
The cache wasn’t difficult to find with the hint ‘Don’t go off the rails’ as there are a load of railings keeping you away from the water that end just at the cache co-ordinates it seemed pretty obvious that the railings were the place to look, and a false endcap came off with a small tug to reveal the cache Continue reading →

31st October 2010 – Trick or Treat, Is anyone there? GC2H951 – cache #918
Halloween… 10:30… the silence of the woods disturbed by the sound of shouts and muffled screams echoing from down in the valley…
But as it was 10:30 am there was no spookiness apparent, the shouts and screams were just the sound of the crowd at the rugby match going on down at the club by the river.
I actually didn’t use my GPS for this cache, cos I didn’t turn it on until I had gotten out of the car and it was struggling to lock onto the satellites under the trees, so as I had read the hint I knew what I was looking for and came across the GZ before the GPS got a clear signal Continue reading →
