Some of the Facebook Lego sites are
becoming rather entertaining. Some chap was whinging on about how difficult it
is to sell Lego on-line as potential buyers all insist on his posting stuff to
them. He was rather vague about any other way in which his buyers would get
their merchandise. I can’t help but wonder what this chap is thinking of. I got
the impression that he would go to the toy shop to buy whatever, and then
people would come to his house and buy it from him (and also pay him a
mark-up).
There wasn’t a lot else happening
on-line this morning, and with no emails of note I played a couple of rounds of
“Cookie Jam” whilst Fudge barked at shadows.
We got ourselves organised and (pausing
only briefly for petrol) we were soon on our way. Munzee-ing as we went we
made our way to Tandridge in Surrey where we met Karl and Charlotte. Tracey was
busy… or would have been busy had her works internet been working.
We set off up the aptly named “Jackass
Lane”, and were soon off along footpaths into the countryside. We had a
rather good walk, but the walk would have been better had the farmers not
planted crops across the paths. We had to walk round the edges of three
separate fields where the head-high corn had blocked the footpath.
It was a shame that Fudge had to give
himself a dirt bath as we walked. And the dirt congealed when we all went
wading in the river (there’s a video of that…)
At one point we found ourselves getting
clues for a field puzzle from an incredibly well-kept grave. As we puzzled a
passer-by told us that she knew what we were doing. The grave was that of her
father, and she often met people going this field puzzle.
A tad awkward…
Half-way round we found ourselves over
the road from a pub. I thought I’d try my luck and see if we could have a table
in the garden for a crafty half. They did have a table spare, and we wound up
having dinner there. Burgers and duck salad and fish finger sandwiches and a
couple of pints of Doom Bar.
Very nice!!
Geocaching-wise we had a good outing.
Some of the hides were easier than others. It was only a shame that the walk
was billed as being five miles, but “Hannah” measured the walk at eight
and a quarter miles. Had we known how long it was going to be we would have
given ourselves a little more time.
I took a few photos as we walked.
We were all worn out by the time we got
back to the car. We said our goodbyes, and came home. We stopped off at the
motorway services for a Trojan Unicorn, and I got burned by a flaming arrow (it’s
a Munzee thing).
Once home we tuned in to the weekly Zoom
geo-meet. It was good to catch up with people. "er indoors TM"
boiled up some dinner and I fell asleep in front of the telly…
