Caches No’s 4060 to 4068 – A Summer’s Day Caching in Norfolk

July, and my annual camping weekend in Norfolk, unlike previous years I didn’t have a detoured journey to find ‘interesting’ caches and YOSM’s on the way down – mainly beacuse I’ve travelled the route twice a year for all the 7 years I’ve been caching and I have found all the interesting caches and YOSM locations that can be even vaguely described as being ‘on the way’ to Kings Lynn, so instead my trip down involved a couple of stops for shopping instead of stops for caches !

Caches No’s 4052 to 4059 – Christmas Camping in June

Another weekend, another caching event… and definitely a bit further away than I am used to as I went to the Christmas Camp event near Dawlish on Devon’s South coast – it was a long drive down on the Friday, I had planned on finding some caches along the way, but the traffic was just so horrendous I just didn’t have time for anything other than proceeding down the Motorway. I wasn’t camping myself, I had a Guest House booked about 3 miles away from the campsite…

Caches No’s 4049 & 4051 – York and Croft Events

4th June 2016 –  WWFM XIII – Wear Purple For Yorkshire GC6DJ3J – cache #4049
World Wide Flash Mob time, and again the local one is held in York (I’m not sure why the dates keep changing I mean I remember in 2013 it was on Star Wars day, May 4th) here we are a whole month later).
There was a good turn out and a lot of people wearing Purple, both our Mega 2018 shirts and their own purple garments…

Caches No’s 4043 to 4048 – May Caches

2016 was turning out to be my slowest year for finding caches – I’d started off well, 54 caches in January was by far my best year ever, but things rapidly went downhill in the next 3 months. I just couldn’t motivate myself to go out caching alone so had really only found caches when I had been with other people. I had bought a fitness band to count how many steps I was doing and it was averaging about 8K a day. When I was away in Wales for the All things Welsh event I decided that I needed to set a target of 10,000 steps a day, which I thought may give me the motivation  needed to out and doing more caching, but it didn’t really work like this.

Caches No’s 4022 to 4042 – The All things Welsh Weekend

This year there was no Kent Mega at the MayDay bank holiday and although it had only been running for a couple of years I was really missing a weekend away. So when Adam said to look at the All Things Welsh weekend in South Wales I decided that I would go along.
Angel78 decided that she needed a weekend away as well, so managed to book the same guest house that I did – Adam had been out and bought a camper van so he was camping – even though by the Wednesday he still hadn’t got one sorted out… by Friday he had it bought and taxed ! (the main reason I guess for the rush to get the camper was that he was taking a young lady with him…)

Caches No’s 4014 to 4021 – The Gruffalo Woods

Once the clocks go back and the evenings become lighter longer then there is more time in the week to go caching (there are those that go out caching in the dark with torches, but they are strange folk who are s lot more obsessed than I am).
So a pleasant Sunday evening at the end of April had me out for a walk round this new series. I ended up starting out on the wrong path and so instead of retracing my steps I followed a faint trail through the brush – which ended up at a ditch and wall, but I managed to jump one and climb the other to get back on the right track
