Despite changeable weather it really has been a great weekend. I have indulged in one of my other hobbies of geocaching!
This weekend there have been two events in Cornwall for cachers to meet and put faces to names. The first event was spent on the beach at Crackington Haven, the weather was perfect, food plentiful and the company superb. The Wheelybarrows celebrated their 2000th find, quite a milestone in caching terms!
Crackington Haven has to be one of my favourite beaches, and I do recommend taking your own BBQ as a pasty in £4 at the local!! A bit steep in my book.....
On Sunday it was more of hike to the top of Kilmar Tor for the annual Picnic in the Rain event, and true to his word Birdman booked some rain, and it was just right not too heavy nor a wettning mist! To stand on the Tor and watch as lots of moving black dots became bigger and recognisable was actually great fun. The sherry and muffins were worth the hike! Again regular faces turned up to chat about caching and GPS's and we were even honoured with some (in the world of caching) celebrities!
If you are looking for a family hobby, or if you already hike and walk on a regular basis then I can recommend the 'sport' of caching to everyone. As long as you have GPS then I would almost guarantee that there is a Tupperware box, ammo can or other type of container within a mile or two of your home, go on see if you can find it!
