Geocaching attempt 2 - Success

This weekend Jack and I went out again. This time we were armed with a Garmin GPSMAP 60CX. Heading back to the first of our missed sites from last weekend and armed with a clue, we quickly found our first cache. It is no wonder that we missed it originally. The car GPS had put us about 200 metres from the actual spot and the cache was the size of a small nut. The cache unscrews and inside was a tiny slip of paper.

For the rest of the day we wandered around the Isle of Dogs and over to Greenwich. We didn't find all the caches we searched for, racking up 4 finds for 7 attempts. The non-finds were frustrating but the finds made up for it. It was a good day out and we only stopped as it was getting cold and dark.

Sunday we picked up Steven and Robert before heading to Kent for some geocache fun. Starting at Leeds Castle, we managed to dodge the blue rinse brigade using publiuc footpaths and made our way to the first of the days caches. It was an easy find but a much longer walk back. The next one was just down the road and again we managed to find it quite easily. The difference between finding a nano and a normal cache is amazing. The bigger boxes were much more exciting for the boys to find and all three finds of the day were off tracks in the woods.

Will go out again soon. Very addictive.
