Daggan it, we don't have any that close together round here. Well done. daumen_hoch

I beat my record 3 times last week. No matter how I tried I never seemed to be able to bag more than 5 in a day, till last week.

Last wednesday I headed for Shrewsbury and got 6. Thursday I managed 10, thanks to an event with a nightcache.

Saturday I set off early and got my first at 8.55am, making my way up to an event in North Wales. I signed the log on my 9th at 12 noon in St Asaph and managed some more before the event where we went on a night cache that took in 3 others up the same hill.

It was a long day, I got home at 1/4 to 12, having left before 8am, but I got 18 finds. weint_vor_lachen

I had a really bad day yesterday. Went for 4, spent nearly 3 hours on the first three, couldn't find any of them, gave up and came home. Brick wall

I found 4 over the weekend but couldnt get to the last one as it was soooooo overlooked ist_depressiv

One of them had a bracelet I'd placed in a previous cache! Managed to drop off TB in Norfolk last week daumen_hoch

That's cool, I've never found anything I've put in one in another one.

I did spot a TB in Much Wenlock that had nothing attached, so I didn't take it because I didn't know what it's goal was. It's called "celebration" and is supposed to have something to do with your celebration attached and a photo taken - then the next finder takes off your thing and puts their own on. I found it in a Shrewsbury cache with a christmas thingy on it, so I took that off and put a Valentine's Day teddy on, and printed out the sheet with it's mission on to go with it - now I'm trying to find a cache to put it in as it's a bit big for most "small" ones.

Same problem as I had with Martha Jones TB.

I coughed up for Premium Membership - but there aren't any PMO caches round here. ist_depressiv

If anyone wants me to look for them near you,let me know 'cos you can still find them and log your finds.
