As I scoffed my morning toast
and peered into the Internet it occurred to me that I should really have taken
a photo or two last night when we all met up in the pub. Judging by my Facebook
feed we were probably among a very small minority of people who didn’t have an
early night last night so as to be up early this morning to see the meteor
shower. Mind you it would seem that those who were up to see the meteors ended
up seeing clouds instead.
We got ourselves and the dogs
organised and were soon heading up the motorway where I helped out our Munzee
clan as best I could by picking up the virtual munzees as I went. Mind you, I
say “I helped out our Munzee clan”; I have no idea whatsoever how this Muzeee clan war thingy works, so
I can only hope I helped out. I could well have been a hinderance.
We soon got to Camer park where
we met Karl, Tracey and Charlotte, and we wet off on a walk. It was a tad cold
as we started off, but it eventually warmed up. We’ve walked from the Camer
Park car park before, but I don’t remember this route. It started off with quite
a bit of road walking, but eventually diverted off across the fields. There was
quite a bit of downhill, but oddly there didn’t seem to be that much “up”. There was quite a bit of mud,
but I suppose that nearing in mind the amount of rain we’ve had lately that is
really to be expected.
Geocache-wise the walk was
something of a disappointment. Whilst there seems to be a definite lack of new
caches going out I don’t want to be discouraging. But we hunted for sixteen
caches along a five-mile route. There was space for at least twenty-five. And
they weren’t easy finds. With iffy co-ords and one of the caches effectively
buried we were out for at least an hour longer than we might have been. I’ve
always said that some people who hide caches want them to be found, and some
don’t. These ones aren’t supposed to be found easily.
With walk walked we adjourned to
the nearby George Inn in Meopham where we had a particularly good bit of
dinner. Fresh bread and rather spicy olives, beef and horseradish sandwiches…
and decent ale too (unlike last night’s
debacle).
I slept all the way home…
I took a few photos whilst we were out. Once home I
showed them to the Internet as the dogs snored around me. I then perused the
geo-map looking for somewhere for next week’s adventure. Dartford looks vaguely
promising.
"er indoors TM" then set off to
the Saturday film night. I ironed my shirts whilst watching episodes of the new
season of “Lost in Space”. I stayed awake, so it must be good. Mind you,
the dogs all snored all evening. I see that as a sign that they all had a good
day. I’m pretty sure they did…
