We managed to escape from Milton Keynes early on Saturday and therefore avoided the 6 inches of the magic white stuff that fell on Saturday afternoon. We were making our Christmas pilgrimmage to Sunderland to visit Kas's parents.

We had a bit of snow on Saturday night and a bit more on Sunday - to a total depth of about 3 inches maybe. Enough to be pretty without causing everything to stop. The kids were away with Kas's dad for the morning and the sun was out. Cold, but sunny and still. Perfect for a spot of caching. So we decided we would try to visit INVASION! (GC29PTK), which is the destination end of our Tyne Tunnel (GC2FQCG) cache. That proved a non-starter though, as the logs reported this has been muggled for the second time in a couple of months and is currently not there. So what shall we do ? Guess we'd better go find a few other caches to make up for it, then. And try to find somewhere large enough to drop some of the many TBs we have collected in the last couple of months.
