With the car now back in action it was much easier to get to Wickford than by public transport, so I thought I would have a look for a couple of caches there today.
First up was the SideTracked hide, which took a bit longer than it should have. Then onto a trickier cache, “the trail” which I predicted would be in a snail shell – and it was! Hurrah! The previous cacher had had a DNF here a few months ago so I did wonder if it was still in place, but a bit of cunning saw me find it in the end.
And I had yet another half-hearted look for Bolted Out Of Wickford (no luck again) but it’s now less of a priority since I’ve recently bagged a D4/T1 Earthcache to fulfil my challenge requirement.
