+cooper troopers Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 some nice caches in matlock area but thats 20 miles from derby will you have a car? Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Haven't cached where you're going, so don't feel it's right to recommend any caches there! Quote Link to comment
+sssss Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 it might help to mention what sort of caches you like to do. micros or proper boxes long walks or drive bys or power trails multis or trads historic places, good views or attached to dog poo bins (i still do not understand why people attach to those) I would not recommend caches unless I know what criteria I am being asked for.

+The Trekbuddies Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Hello Peeps yes travelling by car We like challenging ones, not so much the ones you have hikes too, and no micro in hedges but good well thought out ones cryptic ones/well hidden ones/picture friendly ones/ well made caches basically ones you have done near the locations i have specified that have been a favourite of yours or ones well worth a visit hope that explains my question a bit better... Thanks Edited September 26, 2010 by The Trekbuddies Quote Link to comment
+cooper troopers Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 the only one we have done in derby is GC2ANY5 someone has reccommed to us the carsington circular (8+ mile walk ) with different sizes of caches they ones we have done and liked are crich circular with one near by added as it was along the way and in matlock farley circuit with pining for farley woods which is a puzzle one near by. ther are several drive-bys along the way to matlock but most are micros. i will follow you on twitter and if i can think of any more after you have set off i will tweet you Quote Link to comment
+The Other Stu Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 bit of a distance from MK, but if you fancy a trip, an hours round trip should get you England's 2 oldest caches. Tim and Jon's 1st Re-stashed and View from Coombe Hill were both (apparently) hidden on the 14/1/2001 (Generally, the latter is assumed to be the oldest, although I have no idea why) Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Tim and Jon's 1st Re-stashed and View from Coombe Hill were both (apparently) hidden on the 14/1/2001 (Generally, the latter is assumed to be the oldest, although I have no idea why) I suspect it's because the original T & J's 1st was archived in 2002. A new cache was put down 2 years later by Dan (of Dan & Pid fame) and the original cache unarchived. In reality, a new cache at the same location. Quote Link to comment
+The Other Stu Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Ah ok, fairy nuff. A quick squizz at Coombe Hill shows that it survived 9 years until June this year. That's got to be some sort of record too? Quote Link to comment
+The Trekbuddies Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 im not sure we will get time to visit those on this trip but would be perfect for on the way to mega wales 2011 Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 were both (apparently) hidden on the 14/1/2001 (Generally, the latter is assumed to be the oldest, although I have no idea why)It's as simple as 'View From' being GC171 and the other GC177. Thus 'Coombe Hill' is the older cache as it was given a GC number first. It may have been physically set later; we just don't know! Quote Link to comment
+currykev Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 some nice caches in matlock area but thats 20 miles from derby will you have a car? Clever question? Quote Link to comment

markandlynn Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Shrewsbury. Let battle recomence great history followed by flight of the dragonfly (shared parking) sneaky hide Town centre a proud salopian chache and then lets go geohashing. Plus a few other easier town centre caches mainly based on the town being Darwins birthplace. If your into outdoor stuff then the High Sports shop is well worth a visit. Quote Link to comment
+currykev Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Why didn't you just ask for caches within 50 miles of Birmingham. Quote Link to comment
