The Cache

Town: Bridlington

On this afternoon Caching we attempted to find 2 Caches around the South beach of Bridlington.

Tracy Joined to help me on this search as Mrs M was feeling a little green around the gills.

The co-ordinates for the first cache took us to a metal structure holding up a piece of modern art work, from all the clues given the cache was a magnetic nano hidden underneath the structure but alas we couldn't find it. There are far to many hiding places and this is definitely better suited to a gang hunt.

The picture above shows the hiding place.

The second hunt was more successful. The cache was about 1km away from the previous cache, well hidden underneath a concrete 2nd world war bunker. The Beach on the South side of Bridlington is very large and provides a nice backdrop for a pleasant walk. We were fortunate enough to catch the RedBull Kite surfing championship which was being held on the beach that afternoon - truly impressive stuff.

Town Bridlington.

This was the final find of our holiday and what a nice way to end, by finding a cache that we had previously failed to find.

This cache is situated near the Bridlington Priory and Bale Gate Museum.
Both are well worth visiting, with the Museum proving to be a really interesting way to spend an hour. Bridlington really suffered during the war and all the evidence is here.

If you get chance to walk around the Priory then take it, it's very interesting inside.

This was the final of 5 finds in one day at Whitby.

This cache is hidden at the Whitby Pavilion, and the hide is ingenious.
Not only do you have to find the cache but then you have to work out how to get to it.
We had to use a chip fork of all things to prize it out of it's hiding hole.
A brilliant cache in a wonderful town, and a great day of our holiday.
