John and Bex Geocaching Blog

Town: Nr Barton

What a great Cache and what a great evening.
We parked at the recommended parking position and had a great 1.5 k walk to the cache.

The walk took us along the banks of the River Humber and I never knew how pretty the location was. The walk took us along right next to the river and along a white stoned beach. The weather and the views made this cache one of the nicest we have done.

This find started a great evening on Geocaching in beautiful Weather.
We were able to drive almost right the way up to the cache and the gang was quick to find the cache.

There are great views of the River Humber from this high vantage point.

Hiding the Cache again

Town: Scunthorpe

The final of our finds on this night took us out into the countryside, and the find was made difficult by supplied GPS coordinates led us some way away from the cache and we ended up needlessly searching, climbing through bushes. This led to a gumpy Bex ;-)

We found the cache in the end and then it was time for tea ;-)

With the help of Sara, Paul & young John we found this cache a little way in some local woods.

It was a nice walk on a nice evening and the cache was easy to find.

Group Caching is certainly good fun.

Everynow and again it's good to come across a cache which you can't find, as geocaching needs to be a challenge.

A group of us set out for a nights geocaching and we were beaten by our first cache, which is hidden along the banks of a drainage ditch next to farmers fields.
Unfortunatly the nettles were really wild at the moment and after much stinging we decided to move on to the next cache and we will revisit this cache later in teh year.

Cache Description: What a nice walk through a wood, and crossing a railway line and into a farmers field.
The woods are nice with great smelling honeysuckle bushes. There's a strange ruined building near the cache.

We had help from Sara and Paul

Cache Description: Paul guided us to this cache whilst on the way to another one - it would have been a shame to miss it as its in a wood that has nice walks and we didn't know anything about it.

We had help from Sara and Paul

Hiding the cache afterwards.

Town: West Butterwick

Cache Description: A nice walk on a public footpath through a farmers field, the walk takes you along a motor way.

We heard lots of wildlife - possibly Rats - and an owl took off just a few feet away from us.

Town: Kidby

Cache Description:

This is the second time we have tried to find this cache, the first time we struggled but this time we found it.

The cache is hidden on a public footpath that takes you through farm land, and past an interesting pond.

The big issue about this Cache is the sheer quantity and size of the nettles, so we got stung - alot....but its all part of the adventure :-D

Cache Description:

This is a great cache very close to where we live and we never knew how much beauty was near us.
Hidden in the woods is a very nice duck pond with swans :-D

This would be an idea place for bird watching.

Cache was a water tight container hidden at a base of a tree.

Paul helped us find this cache on a nice evening caching.
