Cache and dash running

Monday, February 1st, 2010 | Geocaching, Running

Yes I’m still running.. only 1K but it going good. I’m doing it between 3 and 4 times  a week and really enjoying it once I get out and get started.. that’s the hardest part!

Seeing as I’m doing a fair bit of geocaching at the moment I decided to combine this mornings run with a couple of very local caches. So off I went to the first one had a good look about but couldn’t spot anything, there were a few people about (muggles in geocache terms) walking dogs so I was very aware of looking a bit shifty.  Having given up the search I carried on to the next cache, at which point the GPS decided to play up. So I carried on running, I got to the end of the greenway and turned round to head back, half way back the GPS started playing again and I headed to wards the co ords. Actually not to far from the entrance to the greenway. I spotted the cache from the path straight away as it was slightly exposed however there were quite a few muggles around preventing me from retrieving the cache. Trying not to look suspicious I was finally alone and was able to retrieve the small box.

The log book was quite damp, but that’s to be expected I guess as it was placed right near the stream. I signed the log book and had a look to see what was in the cache.. Found a garfield travel bug (TB), but as I still have yesterdays Cow TB I left it for someone else.  I didn’t take anything to place in the cache as I was running so didn’t take anything out of either, not that there was anything I might have wanted in this particular cache.

With the second one being such a quick find I headed back to the first for another look.. Still no luck, the GPS was all over the place because of the tree/ivy coverage so I’m not even 100% sure I was looking in the right place… It must still be there though as someone logged finding it the day before!  Will have another try soon.
