23-24th June
This week the temperature has shot right up and so we've had to be quite careful about how/where we cached. So Tuesday we went and explored an old airbase which has been abandoned since the war and is now just some ruins in the woods. It's a cool location that we never would have known about without geocaching and had the advantage of being heavily wooded and therefore not too hot. The original route (placed 10 years ago) had 12 caches and there are 9 still active but of those about half haven't been found in over a year and are probably missing so we weren't expecting much. We found 2 fairly easily and tried a third which has been found recently-ish but had no luck. Total: 2. Running total: 77
Wednesday was supposed to be even hotter so we made sure to go out first thing before it got too hot. C had outgrown her sandals and so I found some bigger ones on Facebook marketplace and used the excuse to go to a town we don't go to much. We got a driveby near the sellers house and then drove over to a puzzle solution that I've had solved for a while but not had an excuse to collect. After that we drove over to a little field/forest walk nearby and collected 4/5 of the caches on that little stretch. The last of which was particularly good and took us quite a long time to locate, hindered by a spoiler pic that put us onto completely the wrong track and had us poking the wrong tree for far too long. Total: 6. Running total: 83.
Today it was 25 degrees by 10am so we didn't even attempt to go out and tomorrow, although slightly cooler is supposed to thunder storm so I'm not sure we'll manage any then either.
