FarmtagZ 2015 Trackable UPDATE

So having hoarded this trackable for such a long time, me and Lewis finally were able to move it on. I really didn't want to move it somewhere close by so we took with with us on our trip to Bournemouth. We had visited the cache before so no new cache. It's the only local cache big enough for trackables. I wrote a blog post previously about the Beauty in Decay cache. 

There were 2 trackables inside the cache so I dropped ours off and took another, hopefully won't take as long this time! Lewis told me to only take one though... as much as I wanted both! We still have a trackable from Italy to drop off in England so the plan is to hopefully take them both up to London in a couple of weeks! Now we have Lizzard in our possession. 

I have been working pretty much full time and on weekends so my days off haven't been matching up to Lewis', therefore we haven't been able to go Geocaching.. hopefully we can start to find some time to go soon!

Trackables UPDATE

A few trackables that we placed have since moved and I thought I'd do a quick blog to show the updated travels. 

Firstly you may remember the Croatia travel bug that was one of our first trackables, we dropped this off alongside the Travelling Troll which were then both picked up by the same people. The Bunculuka trackable has yet to be placed by the couple but they did place the Travelling Troll. 

Sadly and quite annoyingly they bought both trackables back to the UK, not only that but they bought it back to a series we literally just dropped the Ladybird trackable off into. So although we added on some miles and the owner can say it's been to Italy; their actions have probably stopped the trackables travelling to another country for some time as it's difficult to get trackables moving in the UK. 

Sorry for the slight rant but it was an accomplishment helping a trackable travel only to have it literally come all the way back again!

On the other hand the Ladybird (Tallinn GeoToken) we mostly recently dropped off in Bournemouth has traveled to Stretford near Manchester. It travelled 187.96 miles to one cache and was then picked up again and traveled another 25.76 miles to where it now resides in Yorkshire inside the cache Nutclough City Limits! 

The Glenturret 05 - besucht alle Deutschen Bundesländer trackable hasn't moved as far (can't say the exact miles as the owner kept writing every cache he visited before dropping it off making 2 pages full of miles) It's ended up in Ford so roughly traveled 15 miles. 

Geocoinfest 2015 has traveled to lots of different caches since dropping it off! It's been a busy trackable. It was taken from Sopley > London > South Wales > Sailsbury, this cache is a perfect example of what happens to caches in the UK, they bounce from one end to the other! 445.12 miles is the average distance it's traveled, for some reason the person who took it to South Wales didn't drop it off up there but instead bought it back down to Sailsbury which is a bit suspious but also a shame; would have made more sense to drop it off up there! I don't think I had started the blog when we collected this cache but it's still nice to give you an added extra!

Sorry some of these turned into a rant like state (I'm a passionate trackable collector!) Even Lewis got some angry texts from at my utter disappointment and frustration (Sorry Lew)! As of yet our own trackable hasn't been picked up but I shall update as soon as that happens! In the mean time we did do some other caches but they weren't really blog worthy as we did them in passing travels :)

Bournemouth Caching - Geocache

Took an overnight trip to Bournemouth and decided to pick up some caches along our way while we visited as well as being able to drop off a trackable. We had planned to do some of the Coastal view series but walked along the beach and realised the footpath was at the top of the hill! 

Coastal Views // Alum Chine

We found this one cache as it was right by our hotel and didn't expect it to be hanging on a wire so made it harder to spot at first! It was a pretty nice view and although it was cloudy and forecast to rain it was actually pretty nice weather, not too hot but not too cold. We hadn't been this side of Bournemouth before, we usually stay up the "main hotel" road on the west cliff but found a hotel on the east cliff. The view was really nice and there would have been another 5 caches found if we hadn't gone down to the beach. 

Beauty In Decay #01 - Hole In One

Another cache part of a series but sadly only had time to do the one. We only marked this down because of the fact it was a small and therefore large enough to drop off a trackable. It was one of very few big enough containers (just) to fit the ladybird in! The cache itself can be found in an old crazy golf course that is no longer used. It was quite eerie but cool at the same time. We had fun finding this one and if we ever had our own golf clubs we could come and play for free (although I get a bit competitive..) 

Pictures are taken on my phone again as I didn't take my camera, as you can see a bit of discovering is needed to find this cache. It definitely earned a favourite point from us!

We dropped of the little Ladybug trackable in this cache too, adding on 62.16 miles to its journey!
