Geocaching in the wilderness...

a badger's set we found on the way...


a horse...nearly home by this time...or we might have rustled it



We went Geocaching yesterday. It was my plan that we complete a circular route, finding about 5 or 6 caches on the way round.We found the first one quite easily, but then things went downhill... and uphill... and through woods...across fields...



How on earth can you become so hopelessly lost within 5 miles of your own house??We trudged about with no clue as to where we were.Luckily there were wild plums growing in the hedgerow, which my country boy husband ate, along with my boys. I did not eat as I was always taught not to eat stuff that's not shrink wrapped and in a box with Tesco written on the outside...


sweet plums...alledgedly...


Still, eventually we found our way out of the wilderness that is the rural home counties and ended up finding 3 caches in all. Exhausted by our adventure we limped back to the car and headed for the nearest Pizza Express where we ate until nearly sick, then retired home to watch Top Gear.
3 and a half hours of walking. 3 caches. 33 hours of sleep needed!!

It does sound like fun. We once went after a 10-part multi-cache. Took us over two hours, walking probably about five miles. We loved every minute of it.
