Yesterday I mentioned
that I've hidden a geocache of my own. It went live yesterday
afternoon, and was found three times yesterday whilst we were out.
I'm quite impressed with that.
A quick bit of brekkie,
and we set off to Folkestone to see the birthday boy. We had a quick
cuppa, then went into town for a spot of shopping. Shirts were
needed. Asda let us down, but Primark saw us right. Pausing only
briefly for out of date chocolate (20p per bar!) we then had a
stroll down through Folkestone warren. A very scenic and pretty
place. And one with the odd geocache or two. There was one that we've
walked past so many times in the past without knowing it was there.
And quite a large chache it was too. I swapped a lego geisha for a
badge, and took out a Trackable. I was *really* excited about that.
Trackables are little
things that travel the world. Geocachers put them in caches; others
find them and move them onto other geocaches. Each one has a unique
tracking number so that it's progress can be logged. The
one I'm currently looking after started its travels in January of
this year from South Carolina in the USA. It's been to Rome and the
Czech Republic already before it arrived in Folkestone warren today;
only hours before I picked it up.
I shall look after it for
a day of so before I release it back into the wild. I know just the
place to release it. (No - not in my own cache!)
To think it's only five
days since I found my first geocache....
