October has been a funny old month! Neither of us seems particularly worried about Caching at the moment. Maybe it's because we hit 100, so it's all a bit of an anticlimax...
Anyway. We both had Friday and Monday off this weekend, so you'd have thought we'd fit some in right? WRONG! I can't even remember what we did on Friday, but it did NOT involve the GPS...
Saturday we drove up to North Wales to spend the weekend with the family. Normally that would involve grabbing some Caches on the way, but we were so late leaving (as usual) there was no time to research any - I even switched the computer on, but after 10 minutes of trying to navigate geocaching.com I just got cross and switched it off - weird!
Anyway, I decided that maybe schnarff's brother markwj would have some Caches for us to find, so I slung the Caching sack in the car anyway, GPS and all, and found the list from our last marathon trip North, as we had missed out on some of the Motorway Mayhems due to DNFs and lack of time.
Anyway it turned out it was a good job I DID pack the GPS, as a) the M6 was a nightmare so we cut across country (though I think schnarff had a fair idea where we were going anyway) and b) when we turned up markwj pulled out two tupperwares, grinned and said 'Fancy a walk?' :O I had forgotten that he can't hide as he has no GPS to find out the co-ords (yeah, how DOES he find all those Caches????!)
So, we spent Sunday morning clambering up mountains and hiding Caches. I can't complain as the views were stunning!!! He was going to take us to the next nearest Cache, which he had already found previously, but we ran out of time - boooo!
We also set off our PodCacher Migration TB in one of them, as new Caches always get visited!!!
Watched the news on Sunday evening and heard about the fires in SoCal (gosh I'm getting all American listening to PodCacher!) Immediately thought of the PodCacher guys, but didn't realise it was quite so close until I saw a map with San Diego on :O
Monday dawned and we had to leave quite early for a meeting schnarff had arranged (DOH!) Again we were late leaving so the DNF near Conwy was out (Watch the Birdie) As it was we made quite good time, and by Junction 12 I quite fancied a break from driving, so I pulled off the motorway without giving schnarff a chance to complain. I wasn't quite sure where the Cache was, so pulled into the first layby and got the GPS out. DEAD close!
Turned the car round and headed down the lane indicated. It was pretty narrow so we had to go past the spot indicated, but then there was a large grassy verge so we pulled up, although there was a van parked up. It was pretty chilly so I set off with the GPS and left schnarff in the car. The GPS was pointing across the hedge, which didn't help, and all I could hear was rushing water :S. Decided I would have to press on and see if there was a gap to get through, when suddenly I spotted a log (the clue! There were two HUGE logs in the other side of the road - red herrings obviously!) in a hole in the hedge.
Lifted up the log to find the BIGGEST tupperware I have ever seen!!! Took it back to the car (VERY subtle!) and did a major TB swapping session (interesting to later see we were playing TB Tag with studlyone - the UKGeocachers guys!!!) before returning it to its hidey hole!
By the time we got home we were both exhausted, and scharff couldn't face the thought of driving another hour back into the City Centre, so we had a late lunch, and I convinced her to go Caching, if only to place my poor sister's Geocoin which we've had for about a month, having not done much caching, and none in Worcestershire where we were meant to be dropping it!
We had a quick look online, at a couple of new-ish Caches and a puzzle I had solved a while back. Unfortunately it turned out that was a micro, so no good for the coin, and one of the others had been archived :S despite it being part of a 4 cache series with a walk. We figured we'd leave that for another day too - once the owner has sorted out what's going on!
Two new (members only - grrrr!) Caches had turned up a while ago, and were near home and no longer MO. They sounded like they had a decent enough walk to do, so we decided they'd do the trick!
Off we went to Fladbury and found Jubilee Bridge easily enough. The Cache took a little more finding, but was eventually exactly where you'd expect it to be! We left the Scab's coin there, along with another bug, and continued along the path toward the other Cache, only to spot muggles ahead. We'd left the map in the car, but I was convinced it hadn't followed the river bank where this couple were walking. We tried another route, but it turned out to be wrong, so we turned back, and spotted that they were already coming back, so figured we'd just go that way!
Turned out to be right (ish, the path goes directly ACROSS the field, but they were growing turf...) and we eventually found our way to Lucy's Mill. Well worth the walk, a lovely spot, again somewhere we'd never have found without Geocaching! Unfortunately schnarff didn't have her camera with her, so we'll have to come back!
Our first hillviewcachers' finds, and very enjoyable! We're up to 9 for this month now...and not likely to fit too many more in, though lots of new ones seem to be popping up - maybe everyone is less busy now summer is over. Looks like the FTF fights are harder though, as everything is getting grabbed straight away!
Apologies for the long and rambling post...YAWN!

WoooHooo - making up for the weekend!
Well, after a Cacheless Weekend Monday seems to have dawned bright and sunny on the world of Caching for bikermel76 & schnarff!
Remembered (amazingly) to check GC.com for the new Cache this morning. Amazed to see it was still unlogged. Convinced schnarff that neither of our bosses would care if we were late...and off we went.
Once the GPS had got satellite lock we tried to find the Cache so we could drive there (although I had a vague idea where to go, it being on the way to work). Unfortunately it wasn't in the GPS - DOH. Fortunately the parking WAS in there (not sure what I was up to last night...)
Got to the supposed "Cache and dash" parking and zoomed right by. Stopped to chat & turn round and almost decided to give up as it seemed like it wasn't going to be simple (no wonder no-one's logged it yet!). Went back trying to work out where exactly the parking was, and spotted it. Stopped again and decided to go for it, so turned round again!
Parked up (almost in the ditch - this is NOT going well!) Wasn't convinced as it just looked like a field, no sign of a footpath! Finally spotted the sign well hidden in the hedge, so decided to go for it. Fortunately had the co-ords in the PDA, so plugged them into the GPS. Set off across the field, and remembered I also hadn't picked up the map - double DOH! Vaguely recalled that the path from this end turned left at some point and then we needed to double back to the Cache.
Decided we had plumped for the wrong side of the hedge when we started across the field, so when the Cache appeared to be to our left, and we got to a hedge, decided this was probably where the path turned. Unfortunately when we got to the top of the ridge we found that we were now in th emiddle of the field and the hedge disappeared off to our left, with the Cache still ahead, and a little to the right now. Loathe to retrace our steps (and having been so naughty with the Trig before) I declared we should play lost again, and we snuck across the field!
The Vista is a bit vague on its paths, and when we reached another 'midfield' hedge, it seemed we were on track - though the path didn't start for a bit (Topo has this habit of having bits of paths everywhere, but they rarely join up or meet roads :S) Turned along this hedge, only to find that the Cache was now off to our left - BAH! Again had to skip across the field, and this time THROUGH the hedge - oops!
Finally found ourselves on a proper path, and now very close to bip point! GPS did indeed bip within a few feet, and we started looking for likely hidey holes, despite having 40ft to go - you can never be sure, especially with a bit of tree cover! There were quite a few possibles, one looked VERY 'tampered' with, but no sign of a Cache. Continued along a bit and spotted what absolutely HAD to be the place, and so it was!
Very well-stocked Cache, several TBS and coins, and....FIRST TO FIND!
Hurrah! Our second LQ Cache, and our 8th FTF. Swapped coins and wrote log & set off back to car - this time along the path properly! Disturbed a green woodpecker which was lvoely - Kai would have loved this place - we must bring her back!
Not far to work for me - further for poor schnarff - so I got there still huffing and puffing, sweaty and covered in mud - but who cares! What a way to start a Monday!!!
As I was writing the Cache log I got a text from csi -wellesbourne to say she was STF - BAH *lol*It's good to be up with the lark sometimes!!
Have also just listened to this week's PodCacher and heard our 100th Find Milestone namecheck!!! Yay!

No Caching for us!
Well, we had a very disappointing weekend Caching-wise. We didn't do a single one!! We had loads of stuff to do and with nothing concrete planned it was Caching which went abandoned!
We actually went to visit some friends near Lichfield on Sunday and sorted out a load of Caches to do, but by the time we got on our way we had no time really, so the weekend ended Cacheless :( Worst of all there were TWO new Wrighty's released, but we just didn't have time to drive over and find them.
We got home to find two new caches less than 6 miles from home, but they're 'Members Only' so only the rich people get to go for them! We spotted another one a bit further out which is actually practically on my way to work, but no doubt it will be done by the morning! It's the LQ for Warwickshire though, so would be cool to get it if we can!
Anyways, not too sad about it as I spent the weekend pinging mails back and forth organising stuff for the Event. UKGeocachers are going to come up for the event itself, which is REALLY cool!!!

SideTracked, but different!
I've spent the last couple of days trying to sort out a Flash Mob Event, after the guys at PodCacher decided to try and arrange a World Wide synchronised event.
It will be a SideTracked themed event which will start at exactly 17:00 GMT on 10th November in Victoria Square in Birmingham. We shall suddenly descend on the Event Co-ordinates, whereupon 15 minutes of organised chaos will commence. There will be THREE new SideTracked Caches to find (obviously not in those 15 minutes, that would be silly...), a raffle (with prizes very generously donated by ukgeocachers.co.uk), a Best Dressed (as a Train Spotter, obviously) competition, a meal (choccie bars), swag to swap, coins and TBs to spot or move on, and finally a group photo of the madness.
Then, suddenly at 17:15, we will vanish as quickly as we appeared, leaving muggles in Brum to wonder what on EARTH just happened!
Hope you can join us!

A failed FTF attempt!
Booooooo! Sometimes even a little help from your friends can't get you a FTF!
Managed to get up to Kinwarton Trig last night to hide the Cache. The GPS seemed to enjoy the 'clear air' and on 10 satellites (about 6 of which had EGNOS correction!) was giving a 5ft accuracy - I've never seen it that good! My GeoDrift reading were therefore very close to the published Trigs co-ords which was great! Co-ords at the Cache were also spot on with the Google Earth co-ords, also a first!
CSI-Wellesbourne had mentioned doing a SideTracked Cache yesterday, so I had my eyes peeled. Once the Trig listing was published I was wondering if hers would pop up, only to get a mail saying the reviewer had refused to publish it as it was too close to another Cache!
Mid-morning I got a notification that wrighty had found the Trig - it had been absolutely pouring all day, so I thought it would be a while before it was found! Turns out they were off to Wales, until they spotted the rain, and then also ditched plan B which meant some shopping for Mrs W (I think I'm going to be in trouble next time we meet!!! ;) ) once wrighty spotted the new Cache!
Left work and still no sign of the SideTracked - booo! I had been even more drawn in by the prospect of a mini-FTF certificate - sounded dead cute!! By the time I got home it had appeared, of course (having driven within about 2 miles of the darn thing!) Had someone coming round to quote for some laminate flooring, so couldn't dash out, and also needed to waot for schnarff to get home as she was already on the bike, so I couldn't call her to say divert to Warwick!
She got home at 6:30 as usual and was delighted (NOT!) to be dragged straight out. It hadn't been logged by the time we left so we dashed the 20miles as quickly as we could (behind people who obviously read '60' as 40...and going by the roadworks, '40' as 50' :S)
Got to the station to find lots of cars tootling around, so suspected we weren't FTF. One seemed to hang around very suspiciously, perhaps checking us out for GPS carrying???
Found the Cache easily, great, cheeky hide - I shall chuckle at the number of muggles who will walk past here oblivious each day, ROFL!
Turned out we were only STF, someone DID beat us to it, but no time on the log, so not sure by how much. We hit the spot at almost exactly 7pm!
Our first CSI-W at last, having met her months ago *lol*

AAA finally cracked (and ANOTHER mention on PodCacher!)
No, no, not Alcester Alcoholics Anonymous, but Alternative Antique Advertisement! It's been in place since last Wednesday, and schnarff & I have been eagerly watching the page to see if anyone could work out my evil puzzle. Looks like it warrants its 4.5 Difficulty rating, though, as it has taken until today to be cracked!
Well done (Mrs!) wrighty for finally getting there!!!
I also got another mention on PodCacher today (Show 127) as they were talking about stamps and I'd mentioned our free Vistaprint stamp on the forums!
And a sad thing...csi-wellesbourne sent me a mail over the weekend - she was going to ask us to do her 'Two Heads...' Cache, just to prove it is still there (after several DNFs) and to celebrate our 100th find, but we'd already hit the 100 on Saturday :( Sorry buddy!
Still, she's also rehidden 'Don't Dilly Dally', so we can do both of them soon! (If schnarff doesn't carry out her threat to retire at 100... :O) Am very jealous though as she's off to Prague too in a couple of weeks, and hopes to grab her 100th there! Everyone's at it *lol*

Ooooooooone hundred and...well, just one hundred actually!
WoooHoooo! WE DID IT!!! We hit one hundred finds :D:D:D
We had totally different plans for our 100, we had intended to finish off the Ground COntrol/ Major Tom series, but when Ye Ole Survey Monuments popped up near home (at LAST!) we had to change things (especially as wrighty had suggested he lead a walk round this series next time!)! schnarff has been watching YSM's listing for a couple of months - it's a virtual which moves around the country, and you can log it at any of its previous locations!
Grabbed a few urban micros this morning after the important Niece Birthday Pressie mission to Argos in Northfield (obviously couldn't resist the opportunity to grab our first SideTracked Caches!!!) to get to 99.
Tried several routes to the Trig that was YSM's current home, having plugged it into the GPS. Eventually dragged out the map, seeing as the Sat Nav was being so gormless, only to see there was no footpath to it (I blame it on the Cosmo that I didn't notice that last night...)
Talked schnarff into abandoning the car somewhere stupid and being brazen hussies (actually I said we could go along the footpath and see if there was a permissive path to the Trig!) There was no obvious path, but no-one around, so we behaved naughtily with the 'blonde bimbo' impression not far below the surface - map in hand
Found the Trig easily, and it was in great condition. Took some piccies and made our way back to the public path, only to hear the farmer's tractor approaching! We tried to hide from him, but he hung around for ages, then finally moved on, and we set off again, only for him to come back! He must have known he hadn't driven past us before, so he must have either seen us off the path earlier, or wondered where on earth we had materialised from! He didn't seem concerned at our presence, however - I wonder if he is used to mad folk searching out his little treasure!
Great to bag our one hundredth with a meaningful Cache which we will remember, and bag a Trig too!

SideTracked really taking off!
Checking out local Caches on GC.com and spotted a new one. Scrolled down to check it out, only to see it's a SideTracked :D
It's a bit freaky actually, as it's located at Northfield in Birmingham. Bizarrely I was looking at that exact station on a map yesterday as the Argos at Northfield was the only one anywhere near us with a certain item in stock...and whilst checking where it was I spotted the station - what a coincidence!!!
Sent the new owners a mail, asking hem to change the name as they'd done the usual and put a space in, which of course means the search doesn't find it! Went to run the search just to see if there were any others, and it said '22' instead of '21' (there are a couple of others in the States which are nothing to so with the series!) Thought to myself 'gosh that was quick!' only to scroll down and see they had also hidden one at King's Norton!!! Yay!
So, suddenly we have 15, in 5 different counties - Warwickshire, Worcestershire, West Midlands, Norfolk and Wiltshire!

Fame at last!
It's Monday, which means work :( and a new episode of PodCacher :)
Had a busy day at work, so didn't get chance to listen to it this morning. Finally ot started on it at lunchtime, only to get called into a meeting. I forgot to pause the show, so when I came out of the meeting I had no idea where I was meant to be, and work called again!
A little while before I left work, I decided to give it another go. Started it where I thought I'd stopped, and then spent a wile fast forwarding trying to find the right place. Got to about 21 mins and heard Yoda's voice saying about e-mails. Thought "Ahhhhhhh! Yes of course, e-mails were just about to start!" Let it play, only to hear Sandy say 'OK we have an e-mail from Mel, that's bikermel76 from the UK' OH MY GOD! *lol* I didn't expect them to read it out - I got a response the other day saying thanks for your e-mail, we love to hear from our listeners!
Anyway, sounds like I gave them a good giggle, so that was good news (and confused them by talking about laybys!)
Oh, and going by recent posts, everyone likes the new location for MMM40J15!
