Saturday, and I was going down to Birmingham to see some friends, so I had to do a handful of drive-bys on the way – I would have done more, but time as always got the better of me and I didn’t get set off until about an hour later than I had planned, so the potential caching had to be reduced to just one detour from my motorway route Continue reading →

Tuesday, and I had had a root canal filling in the afternoon and so didn’t fancy going to the gym as I normally do on Tuesdays, so instead I worked out a route to drive around in the Dales to go and do some countryside caching. Continue reading →

As there had been about 40 caches put out for the Masham event the week before and we’d only got round a handful of them I thought I would head back up there to have a go at some more.
I had picked up a new Garmin Dakota 20 GPS and thought it would be a good chance to try it out – loaded up with 1:50K Ordnance Survey and the latest Open Street maps.

So I was down to the new unit only. Continue reading →
