Day 341 - The Geocaching Adventure!

Sorry for my brief Blog yesterday....a tad too much beer, again!!!!

So back to yesterday...at 9:45 myself, Natalie and Bugs (our Easter mascot) headed for a fry-up to fuel us for a few hours of Geocaching (emblem below)....for anyone not familiar with Geochaching, it is "an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a GPS or mobile device to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world."

At the cricket ground we met Solange or "Head-Cache" - and after a short briefing we went off in search of the hidden treasure (well bits of paper in tubes!!).  But let me set the scene, a dozen adults and 3 dogs rummaging in bushes.....not weird at all!!

It was all very exciting - like a group version of Challenge Anneka - "stop the clock, found the clue"!! When our mobiles showed we were close to the cache, it did send us all a bit competitive and we were all quite keen to be the one to find it.  But we were controlled and let someone different find them.

We wandered through woods, said hello to fabulously horny goats, passed stunning houses and clambered up steep steps.....where we almost lost a few of the group!!

The plan was to find 7 caches before lunch, but as we are new to it - we only managed 4....but it was fun and the gang are already talking about the next adventure.  So after the fourth find we power walked from Rusthall to the Mount Edgcumbe for a well deserved lunch and a few beverages!!! It was after all thirsty work.

It was inevitable....a lunch starting at 1pm at the Mount Edgcumbe was always going to get a out of control.  Bank holiday, no work on Monday and a lack of self control = great fun and sore heads!!

On tomorrow's blog what happened after the Edgcumbe, and what happened to Bug's red ribbon?
