Cache No. 3432 – Wooden Sculpture GC4VTED

3rd September 2014 – Wooden Sculpture GC4VTED – cache # 3432
Yet another blank day on my caching calendar so I went to find a cache… I Was a little worried when I got to GZ and saw some cord hanging with nothing on the bottom, but a closer examination found that this was nothing to do with the cache (I have seen caches in similar locations hanging from cords like this) Continue reading

Cache No. 3431 – Bug’s Eye View GC56YQ5

2nd September 2014 – Bug’s Eye View GC56YQ5 – cache # 3431
After a quick shopping trip I went out on to Ilkley moor to find a cache.
You get Bug’s Eye View of my house from here (where the arrow points to) …. well 4.2miles away down the valley anyway, that means you don’t get that clear a view, but it was nice and sunny and not too hot for walking up hill, so a nice cache to fill a blank calendar day Continue reading

Cache No. 3430 – Nelson’s View GC3V3FX

25th August 2014 – Nelsons’ View GC3V3FX – cache #3430
Another blank date on my geocaching calendar which needed a cache to fill it – and this was it.

I spent the afternoon walking with my sister and niece (Twirlagirl and Madpuplou) all round Bolton Abbey and the Strid Woods in progressively worsening weather as they were getting the ‘Two Trees @ Bolton Abbey’ (see cache #2707) virtual cache for their ‘The Collector’ souvenir, so after almost 6 miles of walking we got back to the car and then drove up to as near to this cache as you can get on the road, where they stayed in the car and let me get soaked trousers from the wet bracken as I climbed the hill to the cache… no view at all due to the mist, so I can’t say whether Nelson’s View is a great one or not !

Cache No. 3429 – GC57XA2 – Gateway to Stainburn Moor

16th August 2014 – Gateway to Stainburn Moor GC57XA2 – cache #3429
As the blurb says “International Geocaching Day is celebrated around the world on the third Saturday of August”, so on the 3rd Saturday in August it seemed necessary to go and find a geocache, and this cache on the road to Harrogate seemed to fit the bill well as it was not too far from the road and according to the map at least on a proper track that had in the past been almost a road, tarmac and everything. Continue reading

Cache No. 3428 – GC4VXR8 – The green pole I said!

I needed to find a cache to fill in a blank date on my caching calendar and as I had a Dental appointment half a mile away this was the cache I went for.
An easy enough find as it’s a big enough green pole !

Only one more date to fill in August for a 7th full month, and that day is August Bank Holiday Monday so I should manage to not forget to go for a cache that day

Cache No. 3427 – GC59C5R – Bradford’s Souvenir

As not everyone can go to the Mega to get their ‘Socializer’ souvenir for their 7 Souvenirs of August there are many events organised up and down the country in August to allow people to qualify for the souvenir. Grayglove and The Booshaws had arranged one at The Turf pub in Bradford for the Monday night. A good turn out for a weekday evening event made this an enjoyable affair with lots of people to talk to
– and we all signed a canvas to commemorate the occasion. Continue reading
