I forget how many times I have been to the Amasons’ Hyke around Hykeham event in Lincoln, the first one I went to was in 2015, and they missed the last couple of years for one reason or another, so I guess this was my 6th visit – and most of the usual faces were there, and it was a nice sunny day to boot.
There is a lake just the football pitches length away from the venue and there were some caches and some Lab caches round it, so I had a walk round with Jeff (of CnJnA) to find them
4th September 2022 – Hyke Around Hykeham 10 GC9VRKG – cache #6097
I didn’t take any pictures of the event, neither did anyone else apparently, and there aren’t any good pictures of the outside of the Memorial Hall on the net, so this is a picture of a previous years event
4th September 2022 – Hykeham Millennium Green Three GC25319 – cache #6098
The first cache on Jeff and my walk around the lake, this was a bit off the path in the trees
4th September 2022 – The Millennium Lake Lab Cache – Trees – cache #6099
4th September 2022 – Historic Hykeham Lab Cache – The Hykeham Meteorite – cache #6100
4th September 2022 – The Millennium Lake Lab Cache – Three words – cache #6101
4th September 2022 – An Island View GC4YN83 – cache #6102
I guess on a walk around a lake all the caches are going to be hidden just off the path at the base of a tree
4th September 2022 – The Millennium Lake Lab Cache – Ssshhh – cache #6103
4th September 2022 – Hykeham Millennium Green Two GC2530M – cache #6104
Jeff was only doing the labs as he had done this series of caches on a previous visit – so he told me where to look – made it easy
4th September 2022 – Don’t take offence GC71XJH – cache #6105
Another one that Jeff had done before
4th September 2022 – The Millennium Lake Lab Cache – Acreage! – cache #6106
4th September 2022 – The Millennium Lake Lab Cache – Rest in peace – cache #6107
4th September 2022 – Hykeham Millennium Green One GC25302 – cache #6108
The last cache on our walk around the lake
4th September 2022 – War Memorial #1631 ~ North Hykeham GC9FQTA – cache #6109
A multicache which starts from the memorial outside the front of the Village Hall, I didn’t do the calculations because Jeff already had the final coordinates
4th September 2022 – Historic Hykeham Lab Cache – The Hykeham Mosaic – cache #6110
After the event I drove round Hykeham to pick up the rest of this set of Lab Caches
4th September 2022 – Historic Hykeham Lab Cache – The Public Toilet Memorial Gardens – cache #6111
This set of Labs might not be too serious… it’s actually the Village green and childrens play area
4th September 2022 – Historic Hykeham Lab Cache – Saint Leggit, the patron Saint of Shoplifters. – cache #6112
A ridiculous story about a shoplifter.. found at the Asda superstore
4th September 2022 – Historic Hykeham Lab Cache – The Forum – cache #6113
The Hykeham Forum is a little shopping centre, with a Tesco express and a pretty good fish and chip shop (which I used when Piratemania and the Mega were in Lincoln last year)
