Caches No. 91 to 104 – A Busy Weekend, Day 1

This was a puzzle cache that I had solved the clues for a few weeks before, but failed on that attempt to find the cache, for some reason going away and coming back to the exact place I was before led me straight to it
There’s something very appealing about canals to me.. I think it’s the size of the engineering effort that went into making them, and the fact that they are of an age where they are made out of stone and wood not concrete and steel. Easy cache to find as it was hidden
just like the Canal Capers#2 – 50/50 I’d done the week before.

Dobson Locks
An easy find even in a busy supermarket car park on a Saturday morning.
I did look for another cache near here GC19HDK – Hidden In Greengates, and failed to find it, but the cache owner has since confirmed that it has disappeared
This one is on a residential street… and would have been much easier without the two chaps stood talking outside the house opposite it, I had to walk around for about 10 minutes until they had gone – Guess what… it’s a film cannister under a tree hidden by a rock
I was expecting this cache to be rather nearer the pond than it was, park car, walk to pond find you are still 500ft away !
At this cache I collected the Travel Bug – TB2RQ2D – Blue Fish
This was 200 yards down a track, I had forgotten to pick up my GPS from the car seat when I parked so didn’t have an exact location point for it… but somehow the place the cache was hidden was just obvious (under a rock under a bush) I must be getting good at spotting likely cache hiding places
As the other one in this series, there was no doubt as to where the cache was from quite a way away… Not that it was badly hidden, it is just that there was only one place it was likely to be
WHen the clue says that the cache is hidden under a rock at the base of a post you think it’s going to be straightforward to find… but then there are 5 posts… 3rd time lucky for me !
Hidden in the recycling area of a Superstore… a recycling area that has it’s own attendant who is noted for being quite nosy and watches people carefully to make sure they put the right things in the right place and are not up to anything amiss… As it was lunchtime he was in his shelter eating a sandwich so I could sneak in and grab the cache easy
Cache Number One Hundred 🙂
Not seen these little metal cache tubes before today (see headline photograph)
An easy find… in the roots of a tree… hidden by a rock
Hang about the entrance to a supermarket long enough, and you’ll find the cache… and get strange looks from the women waiting at the bus stop !
Even the council CCTV man was watching me do this one… the camera panned round to watch me while I was signing the log
