esther and kezia went to a pantomoon yesterday so jane and i went on some geocache adventures.  Three bigguns this time. And for the first time i collected a ‘travel bug’ to take to another geocache as part of an adventure.  you can read more about him here

here are janes with the two other caches we found.

we also went for a lovely meal in the fantastically rustic and calm and lovely bar restaurant “The Old House” in Warren Row near/in Crazies Hill.  The owner said he was having trouble getting the phone number in the phone book, so in case you found it via googling for “The Old House”, it’s 01628 825 861 and the postcode is RG10 8QS.  You should go as it’s great.

geocaching in brussels

i dragged my colleague Toby round loads of geocaches in brussels in the evenings.  i went to this one on my own.  can you see it ?  it was really tricky to get our unless you are double jointed or like lying in muddy dirt.

mmm. think we might be getting hooked on this. we passed 4 geocaching points on our thames walk yesterday. we found two and failed on another two. the problem of doing them in the middle of a 7ish mile walk is that you can’t stop for an hour and do a thorough search. but it helped break the walk up and was all good fun.
here is esther with one of the caches.

we went on our first geocaching adventure yesteday but it was a bit of a disaster. we had a nice walk round a lake collecting clues to give us the final coordinates, but we must have gone wrong somewhere as the final location couldn’t be found. oh well. we’ll try another time !
still, we did find a mobile phone. after phoning the number marked ‘home’ and leaving copious details on how we would return it to the owner, a lady walked by looking around for something. and it was her phone. here she is walking away with it in her hand
