+rutson Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 (edited) Just got Total Karma and Bronte Waterfalls to go after an 11 cache effort today. Worked our way from Gasgoine Express to Biffa's Top ten pretty much follwing the northeren edge of the county. Accidently veered into north yorkshire for Via Ducks, didn't realise the border ran along the river! Just wondering if there are any gotyas with my two remaining ones? Also hoping no new WY caches get activated in the next 24 hours! SUGAR! Just noticed Soldiers Lump (Derbyshire) might be JUST in WY. AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH! Edited July 30, 2004 by rutson Quote
+mongoose39uk Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Some say Soldiers Lump is in Derbyshire and that it was once in Cheshire. My reading of the border is that it's straight through the middle and is therefore partly in West Yorkshire Looks like a bog trot is in order. Or it would be if the Pennine Way had not been turned into a Motorway. Quote
+rutson Posted July 30, 2004 Author Posted July 30, 2004 Route being formulated right now! Looking at a route from the north west as it looks flatter and has a car park at the start/finish. 3.18km each way. Kids are gonna go ape! Quote
+mongoose39uk Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 That is the way I would go. The car park is a little way down the road. The steeper one has a more defined path. If it's dry the way you have chosen is fine. It may be like walking on the surface of a Jelly though. It can be quite a weird sensation. Make sure your boots are well fastened Quote
Leoness Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Quick! Someone go out and "nobble" the last two caches!!! *weg* Only joking. Good luck tomorrow - hope you get your final two/three caches. Which county is next on your list? Quote
+rutson Posted July 30, 2004 Author Posted July 30, 2004 Hmmmm.... Greater Manchester is next as parents live there. I think maybe a 20 miles radius of my house might be August target, give me 55 to go at. Quote
+rutson Posted July 30, 2004 Author Posted July 30, 2004 Second thoughts, maybe 16.9 miles to exclude kipling cahce and crossword capers Quote
+mongoose39uk Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Kipling Cache is not that bad. It's only seven miles to the final cache and the three miles back to the car are mostly down hill. Any way the weathers just right for it. Quote
SlytherinAlex Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Also hoping no new WY caches get activated in the next 24 hours!! I see Austin Power #5 in your future..... just been waiting for the right time to release it. Quote
Lactodorum Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 There is one way to guarantee no new WY caches appear you know. Just make out the cheque to "Lactodorum, Caching Towers, ........." Good luck! Quote
+rutson Posted July 31, 2004 Author Posted July 31, 2004 Progress report: Soldiers Lump and Total Karma done After the boggy trek to the former, it was all I could do to persuade wifey to to the latter, never mind the hike up to Bronte Falls. So looks like I'll have to go out and do that solo [] Quote
