+Jonovich Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Did anyone else see "Escape to the Country" on BBC today? Between house hunting trips they took the house hunting muggles Geocaching! Not sure if they converted them - it wasn't mentioned again in the rest of the programme. But they did find the cache! J Quote Link to comment
lakeuk Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Just watched it on iPlayer, 17mins 45secs in:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00hz...s_9_Shropshire/ Quote Link to comment
Edgemaster Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Nice cache to choose, too. Pity about the suggestion you don't need map reading skills... Quote Link to comment
+andyfee Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Nice cache size, Not to many of those around in this neck of the woods Quote Link to comment
+Bambography Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Brief, but good! Quote Link to comment
+SidAndBob Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Does anyone know what cache this was? It reminded me of Citizen Smith. Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Does anyone know what cache this was? It reminded me of Citizen Smith. Can't find which cache they found, but the one shown at the start was written on the box and with cross reference to the cache pictures it would appear to be the WW2 Series - The Lone Pine Club by The Time Lord.

I think that cache is to far out. When they find the cache they tell you it overlooks Burrows Hill Fort. so i think it is Iron Age Series - Power House - Hopesay Common also by The Time Lord Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think that cache is to far out. That it may be, but it's still the cache container she has in her hands as they walk through the gates! When they find the cache they tell you it overlooks Burrows Hill Fort. so i think it is Iron Age Series - Power House - Hopesay Common also by The Time Lord I agree, it does look like that cache.

The listing also says "Each cache contains a board that tells you all about the site...", which fits. I am surprised that there are three DNFs considering the size of the ammo box! I won't mention who DNF'd it though. Quote Link to comment
+wigglesworth Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Certainly looks like GCNYG8 - it was sooo long ago that we had the fun of being the FTF for this cache in May 2005. There are quite a few caches around Craven Arms now. Peter Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I have just got confirmation from The Time Lord that the cache was indeed GCNYG8 Iron Age series - Power House - Hopesay. He didn't even know it had been used for TV Quote Link to comment
