Fix Or Repair Daily

By: The_Buffs Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Other

Woohoo! Found it SMILIE Had a little help from a friend which was very gratefully received. Couldn't quite believe what the GPS was telling us and when we saw the cache we were immensely impressed. Very clever indeed.

TFTC! [:D]

A BRIDGE NOT TO FAR

By: the big bulldog Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

The British Red Telephone Box - Gayton

By: T A G Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Other

What a gorgeous village! Found the cache with no problems. Cleared away half a kilo of cobwebs, too.

TFTC [:D]

REALLY SideTracked - Blisworth

By: Merlin-K Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Didn't turn the GPS on for this one. Thought I'd wing it. Success! I walked straight up to it, gave it a little check and it was soon in my hand for a signing.

D'Abby Dash #18 - Gayton

By: Ratz42 & Roan65 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen

Oops! It looks like someone got cross with the national speed limit! Cache found nice and quickly. TFTC! [:D]

The King of Caches

By: TiffieldTrampers Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

There was a smoker watching me - did she know?? Noone else around though so I made a quick grab, sign and replace.

TIF01

By: Pullup Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Other

It says TIFP1 now - I'm sure it said TIF01 last time I drove past here. Anyway.. quirky little cache. Very wet though so quite delicate.

Brackmills Country Park - Muddy Puddle (sometimes)

By: JaandJa Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Other

Spent a long time looking but no joy. Did meet the lovely Mudflap Kimbo though, so it doesn't matter! Left them to it as I had spent too long there. Nice to meet you guys, good luck!

FM The End Of The Road

Had to look quite hard for a difficulty 2! Nice choice of camo colour [;)] TFTC [:D]

FM Stones Throw From The Bramptons

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Not chosen

Hehe. I like the title [;)] TFTC [:D]

FM The Fifth Element

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

Now was it me or were there fewer signatures on this one than the rest in the series? Peculiar! Maybe it was me. TFTC! [:D]

Nitrogen Lawrencium

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

Hooray! I took the right A level in sixth form after all!

Thanks for the puzzle (I usually avoid them but recognised a few things in this one) and the cache. Also the scramble; always a fun thing.

[:D]

Bexter's first hide cache and dash?

By: Bexter666 Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Other

Spotted some cachers-in-a-car at GZ so I didn't attempt to hide what I was up to. Hoped they would give me a hint as to where the cache was but no such luck! Lovely people though [:D] nice to meet you! Had a good old look; high, low, in front, behind, inside, outside, under and then just for fun a good climb skywards. Eventually I found it in one of the first places I looked! A very sneaky hide [;)]

TFTC! [:D]

FM Church View

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Nice quick cache, didn't use the GPS. Almost left with your pencil, sorry! Had to go back to replace it.

TFTC (and nearly your pencil) [:D]

FM The Brampton Stables

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Lovely views from here. I wish I had brought my camera. TFTC [:D]

FM The Wire

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

This was well hidden! I nearly gave up... and this is Jess The Stubborn talking! TFTC [:D]

FM Five Ways

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Wow! Saw this place from at least 1/4 of a mile away. Wondered about whether I should go for it with the threat of clouds but they were just showers. TFTC! [:D]

FM Mind The Gap

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

Lucky it was an easy one because I spent more time here looking at the enormous raincloud heading straight towards me than I did looking for the cache! TNLNSL TFTC [:D]

FM The Trailer

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Not chosen

I love interesting caches. [;)] This was such a cool place! As I approached I thought "now where would I hide a cache that would be a difficulty rating 4...?" A few minutes look around and there it was. Fab! [:D]

Then I was interrupted by a (probably friendly, lets be honest), dog who picked up my fear of dribbling, growling do gs and proceeded to dribble, growl and bark at me. I had to yell for help and the owner came to my rescue when I screamed [:O]. If Mike had been with me (Jess speaking) then I'm sure it wouldn't have been scary but oh my lord my heart was pounding! Thought I was going to lose a limb! Huge thanks to the owner who was very nice.

TFTC [:D]

FM Brixworth View

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

This one was really easy. I was on the phone to Mike whilst I trundled along. I said to him "I wonder where the next one is. It must be close. Oh!". And there it was! TFTC [:D]

FM Brampton Hill Crossing

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen

Yucky! The rain was pounding down by now and so the Garmin was tucked away safely. In a feeble raincoat I checked every place I could think of (well, nearly!) whilst becoming more and more cold and wet. I did meet a friendly furry friend who obviously lives in the hedge I was furtling around in though, so there was a bright moment! [^]

He told me where the cache was. OK he didn't; he went back to his living room. I found it on my own.

TFTC [:D]

FM Jacks Lane

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Couldn't hunt as there were lots of muggles. Who (other than cachers) wants to go out walking on a rainy day?! OK showery but nevertheless. Note because:

There has been a huge clean up here - new fences, weeds gone and lots and lots of sawdust around. Considering the hint could this be a danger?

FM Over The Hedge

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen

Apparently it is a great film. Have you seen it? TFTC [:D]

FM Take Shelter

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

'Took Shelter', thanks! Signed log as I watched a rather handsome Caterham go by. Wondered if the driver brought a hat for today's showers!

TFTC [:D]

FM The British Red Telephone Box - Church Brampton

By: firemountain24 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen

Whoopdidooopdidoo!! Jess' first ever telephone box cache! I never thought I'd get one. Mike is the best at finding these.

Lots of plump blackberries nearby, too SMILIE

TFTC [:D]

A Country Layby Cache and Dash

By: lorri-ann & Kev Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

A country layby to cache and dash - great SMILIE I cached and dashed off towards FM's nearby series. Pretty quickly, too, as there were lots of showery clouds building up in the distance!

Edited for spelling!

TA in Action

By: Flamedodger Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

Woohoo! I worked out a puzzle! I'm usually rubbish beyond comparison at the puzzle caches so tonight, Matthew, I shall be Immensely Proud.

Thanks for the puzzle and for the cache. With the terrain rating and experience of your 'I Scream' cache I was expecting something quite different but I can't begin t o tell you how delighted I was to spot the cache. *grin*

[:D]

TA in Action

By: Flamedodger Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

Ooh I think I've solved this. Puzzle caches usually go WAY over my head but... hopefully a found it log to follow (when the torrential rain stops!)

Scramble

By: korkyfoss Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

I scrambled around all over the place but not in the right place! Should have relied on the GPS which was in the car still trying to find itself SMILIE TFTC [:D]

Alphabet Challenge #12

By: SCFurniss Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

I walked past this a couple of times, not trusting the hiding place! This was a fun road to drive along in the heavy rain. I am pretty sure my spark plugs got a thorough soaking.

Little Cacher's Trail 4 - Hollow Resurrected

By: Emmeline - SEJ & B Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Mm, nice Big Posh House! On the way to this cache I was just thinking "I'd love an early night tonight you know, nice soft bed..." when what drove past on teh road ahead but a Premier Inn Lorry. A bizarre mirage!

Little Cachers Trail 6 - Abandoned Gate

By: Emmeline - SEJ & B Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

[:(] It seems the footpaths around here aren't maintained. Still more overgrown prickles! Cache in good nick. I swapped a passport cover for a fan.

TFTC [:D]

Little Cachers Trail 5 - Brook

By: Emmeline - SEJ & B Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

The path to get to this cache was completely overgrown (about 4ft?), very prickly and, after the recent showers, sopping wet!! Cache was in a good place though. No camo so I left some sticks...

Little Cachers Trail 3 - Crossing

By: Emmeline - SEJ & B Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Smile # 2

By: The Allotment Gardener Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Other

A quick search revealed a cache that was quite exposed so I sought out a little more cover. Not much though - slim pickings around here SMILIE TFTC [:D]

Just Northamptonshire #007

By: The Allotment Gardener Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Found the cache had been pushed out from its hidey hole by three big (and quite likely determined) snails. I had a word with the snails and replaced the cache and its camo. Swapped TBs TFTC [:D]

Curious! Found a small, so we signed the log... Then found a nano so signed that log as well. TFTCs [:D]

GAP (not the shop!): Shelswell Loop

By: gingko Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

Mike found the cache easily whilst Jess stood nearby and tried to pinpoint the GPS coords. TFTC [:D]

Newgate!: Shelswell Loop

By: gingko Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

Cache was quite exposed and it has lost its paint camo so we hid it a little better. TFTC [:D]

FD's Trail - Danger Overhead and Below!

By: Flamedodger Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 4.5 Container: Micro

This one was one of the longest - lots of to-ing and fro-ing until I found the right place. Enjoyed a little Dirty Dancing moment. Would advise future cachers to take some tweezers. [;)] Woohoo! What a fab trail. Got up really, really early to do the whole run in one morning and boy was it tough... but fun [8D] Nearly PAFed on a couple of occasions but resisted the temptation and stuck at it.

Bex & Jax's Firs trail- From little acorns.....

By: Bexter666 and Jackie68 Difficulty: 5.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen

I'll be honest. I was feeling heavy-hearted; the ants were getting to me (man, there are billions!), and the lack of reception on the GPS was stupid and having found only one cache in the woods so far I was turning to go back home. I noticed there was a difficulty 5 on the list so I headed up to this corner thinking 'it can't hurt - so many DNFs - one fail and then home...' Luckily, finding this one really boosted my caching spirit and off I skipped to find some more in the woods. Happy days [8D] TFTS (Thanks for the sneaky)

Loved this one, made me laugh [:D] Left Morph TB. Took 5p coin by accident as it jumped out of the cache as I opened it. It is now lost in my car but I will place it in another cache I promise! TFTC [:D]

The Plot Thickens!!

By: Davril Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Micro

Well Mike was working in the area today so Jess set to decoding the coordinates. It took her hours and hours! Jeepers! With an effort like that it would be foolish not to send Mike out to hunt for the cache now, even if only for a 35mm pot. This one earns our award for the cache that took us by far the longest to do. TFTC! [:D]

Tram Stop - Racecourse

By: The Allotment Gardener Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Driving past this the other day, my heart sank as I realised a nano on a huge metal structure was going to be impossible to find. Imagine my delight when I spotted it within minutes. This was followed by kicking myself when I realised I'd have to go all the way back to where I parked... for a pen. Who goes caching for a nano without a pen? TFTC [:D]

Don't slip up at Delapre!

By: The Mad Hatters Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Micro

We were looking for a special way to mark our 500th find and this was perfect. The rain clouds parted for just enough time for us to get to GZ, search around the trees and scramble up and down. Mike knew exactly which tree is was but Jess insisted on climbing the wrong one anyway. We searched for about 10 minutes before we used some logic and spotted it. A silly photo shoot, a quick retrieve, sign and replace. It's great when the replacement is just as much fun as the retrieve [:D] Thank you very much for placing this cache. Great fun! M & J [:D]

The Mucky Pond

By: BiShCa Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

So... found with the help of the clue. We were just signing the log when a couple of dogs came bounding along and we though 'uh-oh, a muggle will follow - act natural!' "You've found The Mucky Pond!" came the shout. "Er, yes" we replied and the very friendly CO introduced himself. Lovely to meet you BiShCa. Thank you for setting this set of caches here we would never have come here otherwise and it was a real find. See you again soon!

Just down the lane

By: BiShCa Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Well we looked in the obvious place. Then we looked in the less obvious places. Then we found the cache in the first place we looked. Of course. TFTC [:D]

BRADLAUGH FIELDS "The Barn"

By: BiShCa Difficulty: 3.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Yey! A nice new cache with a nice clean log. Lovely area. We can see how it would be very difficult with the presence of muggles. Fortunately for us there were none here today. TFTC [:D]

BRADLAUGH FIELDS "5 Steps to Nowhere"

By: BiShCa Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

What a fabulous little place! Thanks to the CO for placing a cache here. I'm sure we would never have visited it otherwise. Now onto the hunt... Of course the GPS was rubbish here but once we trusted our instinct it was easy. TFTC [:D]

BRADLAUGH FIELDS "Take a Rest"

By: BiShCa Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen

Nice.. er.. attachment! Last one found in the area today, we have run out of time. Thank you for placing these caches in Bradlaugh Fields. We really enjoyed them. [:D]

BRADLAUGH FIELDS "Holtons Lane"

By: BiShCa Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Other

First of a few around this area today. Spent a few minutes getting our bearings (blaming the GPS finding satellites of course, not our sense of direction) before we found this one. Handy little container. TFTC [:D]

BRADLAUGH FIELDS "The Sun Dial"

By: BiShCa Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Quick find. There was a big snail who was quite attached to the cache. I think he may have been guarding it, in fact. Signed and replaced. Left the snail in charge. TFTC [:D]

BISHCAFEDA'S MICRO # 2

By: BISHCAFEDA Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Other

Met the CO again at this one for a quick chat SMILIE who warned us that perhaps Mike should open this one and not Jess "have you read the other logs?" Great hide.. Jess will be having nightmares about the earwigs but great hide nonetheless! We were very impressed - very clever.

TFTC [:D]

BISHCAFEDA's MICRO

By: BISHCAFEDA Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

A very quick find here. Lucky, because we were running out of time. Decided that we didn't have time to get all of the caches in the area but should try for the others on the way to the car. I suspect there may be a Geoaddication growing. Anyway, TFTC! [:D]

Beast of Bozeat Series #6

By: eyesore49 Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

Easy find now we are getting to know how the CO works [;)] We were surprised to find a 35mm instead of a regular though. No matter, great cache SMILIE TFTC [:D]

Beast of Bozeat Series #5

By: eyesore49 Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

Nice quick find. Jess still can't find a dock leaf. Mike pointed out the popping sound coming from the corn in the sun. Jess concluded it must be 'popcorn'. Ahem. TFTC [:D]

Beast of Bozeat Series #4

By: eyesore49 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

Jess got very, very stung retrieving this one and no dock leaves in sight. Boo! Did find a Mouse TB though so will move him onwards.

White Lane Wander 9

By: eyesore49 Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

A nice finish to the series and a lovely walk back to #2. Sometimes you just need to walk and look around at the area rather than at your GPS unit don't you? A gorgeous place and we both really enjoyed visiting. Thank you for placing this series here, it reminds us of why we got into Geocaching in the first place.

White Lane Wander 5

By: eyesore49 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

Nice work from TonyNChelle. Interesting place. At GZ lots of earwigs made Jess squeal. Took compass and left kaleidoscope. Left the earwigs too. TFTC [:D]

White Lane Wander 4

By: eyesore49 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

Such a lovely day today. A butterfly tried to land on Jess' nose. She almost saw this one as she walked past it. Mike was then drawn to a nearby tree with a hornet's nest so they quickly retreated back to Jess' hunch and there was the cache. TFTC [:D]

White Lane Wander 3

By: eyesore49 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

An intersting tree. In fact there are a few interesting trees around here.. TFTC [:D]

White Lane Wander #1

By: eyesore49 Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

What a great wood to place a series around! Fabulous, thank you CO. Although vehicles are allowed we walked the route and quickly decided that we wouldn't recommend it for cars. A Range Rover powered on past us at one point but I guess that's what it was built for! We would totally recommend visiting the wood on foot though - a real Olde English treasure full of Ash, Oak and Maple. Oh, and puddles [:D] Nice easy one to start with. Mike set to the iwork and looked back through the previous logs and found a clue just as Jess found the cache. She got an unexpected shower as she retrieved it too! It must have rained last night. TFTC [:D]

Nice and easy so no wonder there are half a dozen signatures in the log book in the first hour or so of being published, even on a rainy day!

My GPS was very out - I was reading 52 11.764 000 58.198 when I got to the cache. I searched for far too long at where the GPS said the given coords were. Silly me, I should ignore the GPS sometimes! Lovely day though. TFTC [:D]

Oh man. Whilst we are on the subject of wrestling with undergrowth, who beefed up the local stinging nettle power? They are seriously pumped and practically lethal at the moment. It is now hours after I found this one and my legs still feel like they've been attacked by jellyfish. Perhaps they have. Invisible dry-land jellyfish that live in nettle patches near to caches. Either which way, it's my own silly fault for caching in shorts; silly girl. TFTC SMILIE

Just Northamptonshire #102

By: The Allotment Gardener Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

I get the clue (although didn't read it until now!) but I was surprised at the cache container. Nice and straightforward to find though, just like all the others in the series. I got brambled by a particularly keen bramble today. It seemed to be intent on pulling all my hair out whilst wrapping itself aro und my neck. I fought back; don't you worry. I'm practised in the art of bramble wrestling. They should make it an Olympic sport. TFTC SMILIE
