My car had to go in to the garage today for some work, a recall on the brakes. The garage provided me with a courtesy car a 308. I was a little surprised to find it was running on fumes and I had to put some fuel in as I had to go to a meeting in Belper, but I suppose that's standard practice. Once I got used to it I really enjoyed driving it it was a lot more powerful than my car. I went down the quick way but cut back across the Peak, I'm afraid it was a bit muddy when I returned it. I didn't want to give it back!

Better luck at Beauchief Abbey
We did find the cache here at Beauchief Abbey it was almost too easy this one. But the nice thing about geocaching is that it encourages you to go to places you've never been before.
Mushroom Lane
Colett and I went geocaching again today, the coordinates seemed to indicate the cache was on Mushroom Lane, we wandered up and down getting annoyed as the distance to the cache kept counting down and then back up again. Never getting close enough to really start looking. Eventually we gave up and went to the cafe in Weston Park Museum. When I thought about it I twigged that the cache must be on the other side of the high wall we had spent so long staring at. So it must be somewhere in Weston Park.

See you Humph..
The wonderful Humphrey Lyttelton has died what a sad loss to the world a man who appeared to live life to the full, never lost his sense of humor, he had wonderful timing and a wonderfully smutty mind without ever loosing his dignity. I have laughed so many times with him and his compatriots on "Sorry I haven't a clue".
Chicken fillets
I got the giggles in the cab home from a night out with Colett tonight, she thought I was pissed! what was making me laugh was that i had noticed two ovals of gel on the floor of the cab, I thought some poor lass had lost her "chicken fillets " on the way home from a night out. I was speculating in my head how she had come to have "lost" them both. It turned out that they were in fact the gel insets you can put in your shoes to cushion your feet!
Best geocache so far.
This was a mutipart cache in Sheffield's General Cemetery with a series of clues to find to work out the coordinates for the actual cache, despite the GPS not always working too well because of the tree cover we eventually found it. More because of the application of brain and a little local knowledge. This sort of cache is much more interesting than the standard kind.

childhood memories
This wonderful shop has been there for a long time, I was quite surprised to find it was still there and even more delighted to find it hasn't changed a bit since I was little. My Dad used to go in here when he was a kid, he took me and my brothers there regularly, it was great to take Ben in there again, he had been in once when he was little. It is packed to the gills with every kind of toy imaginable; all the things you remember from your child hood, things that you had forgotten about.
