1st on the list of caches do to was the Earth Cache at Formby point. As with National Trust parks there's always an extortionate parking fee so after paying our £4 to get in, we duly parked the car and got cracking with the first cache. The weather was beautiful albeit a bit windy. We gained the relevant information, took the photos and then took the kids and the dogs to the beach. We let the pups off the lead for a change and they had a wonderful time running in and out of the pools on the beach getting completely soaked. As with our luck the weather changed in an instant and the rain came bucketing it down. Because it had been so nice we had left our waterproofs in the car so by the time we had made a run for the car, we were absolutely soaked through.
Caching after that was a bit soggy but we still managed to complete 29 caches on the Saturday and 170 miles later we returned home tired.
Sunday we decided to return to the area and try to complete the caches that we didn't get round to doing so after a little bit of a lie in we set off from Stoke at about 10am. I drove yesterday and today I was in the back seat with the kids and the dogs. We immediately drove to Leyland to start our days caching and after only a couple of finds, we managed to clock up some DNF's as well. A little disheartened we continued getting the caches slowly when the rain hit again. Actually caching in the rain is incredibly dull and as a team we don't particularly like completing drive by's but in the recent weather, needs must I suppose. By the time we managed to get home we had completed 35 caches, some of them in the dark.
