Geocaching 2023
Diary 2023 – A list of my geocaching exploits for 2023, which included a few epic trips and a few targets ticked off the list
Lincoln
Filling my time up in Lincoln while one of the kids was doing a training day. I went geocaching, obviously.
Piratemania
A day spent at the piratemania event, held about as far from Davy’s Jones’ Locker as it’s possible to get in England.
Enough is Enough
Our final day. Enough was enough. It wasn’t really a day of holiday, because it was a day of driving home.
Barf
Barf is a moderately sized hill at Whinlatter with a very entertaining name and a spectacular view from the top.
All Over the Place
The family were all over the place today. I went geocaching in Penrith and the ladies went hillwalking and rented a pedalo.
Aira Force
Aira Force is on the list of mandatory things when visiting the Lake District, much like walking in Langdale and drinking tea.
Holme Fell
A mixed bag of activities today, with me and Ami opting for descending into an old quarry and then climbing up Holme Fell
Walking with Alpacas
An afternoon spent walking with alpacas on the forestry estate up at Whinlatter. It was a fairly gentle activity.
Threlkeld
A trip to the Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum, because we weren’t up for another day of walking, but wanted something to do.
Pikes
Legging it up the Langdale Pikes. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve done the first part of this walk, but we added one more.
Infinity Pools
A trip to the uphill end of Buttermere to visit some infinity pools and take a dip in some absolutely freezing water
