GC5BQ31: Historic Carlisle
played
Today I decided to kill several birds with one road trip: tick a calendar box; get a Jasmer; get eight cache types in a day; make a start to a snooker challenge (namely GC4NYHP); and get a Sidetracked outside of Scotland so I can qualify for GC471AV.
Having looked closely at a map, I decided Cumbria was the best bet for all this: myriad cache types in Carlisle, plus a webcam and a letterbox relatively nearby and a virtual on the way home. Sorted.
This was my twelfth cache of the day (14 in all). I adore Wherigos, I wish there were more of them. I wish I had the tech smarts to make one too! A brisk whip-round the town centre - a few spots of rain threatening, but idly, to spoil the fun - before hitting a wall at the final virtual stage. "Bit vague, isn't it?" I thought, until I realised I was being too dense for my own good. Once I had the coords, I went to the GZ, only to determine, after an hour of fine-tooth combing - and messaging the CO - that the cache was missing. Thankfully the CO very graciously let me count this as a find, as he confirmed that I was in the right place and that the container was missing. TFTW!
Just 147 Snooker Challenge.
