International Geocaching Day

Yesterday after taking the kids to the outdoor swimming pool, decided to head out and grab a cache for the International Geocaching Day souvenir. This would be the second one of these I have acquired so far. Last year I did Jack the Ripper 1 - Mary Ann Nichols while my husband had a hospital appointment nearby.

My immediate choice for the evening was to grab a puzzle cache which had been released a few days before and I'd solved on the day but didn't go for FTF. This was The Defector on the edge of Hertford, convenient for the bus stop and would have been home within an hour. However when we got to GZ, people were sitting out in their gardens and a dog was alerted to our presence so decided to try for an alternative cache. The Stairway to Cache Heaven was our qualifying cache, there was a bit of a scramble to obtain the cache and the contents could do with a bit of tlc but it was a relief to find this cache so we could get our souvenir.
