Do I need any specific gear? It would be ideal to get the kids (mainly our teen) moving off the sofa.<br /><br />You surprise me when you say about your shyness in social occasions - you come across as so confident and outgoing on here, I know what you mean though as am exactly the same. When people say to meet up when we go to Ally Pally I always go tongue tied. Hate it - really annoys me though I am working on it ;)Carmen https://www.blogger.com/profile/07968725221313800020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28475267.post-17532042920836272262010-09-30T15:15:33.326+01:002010-09-30T15:15:33.326+01:00Wow, it sounds like an amazing adventure to me, an...Wow, it sounds like an amazing adventure to me, and your photos are beautiful! The butterfly, of course is my favorite, but I love them anyway. :)<br /><br />I can imagine there are ups and downs to the searches ... just getting started myself I am still high up on the honeymoon phase, but geocaching or not, it looks like you had an awesome family adventure, and that's what's important. :)<br /><br />I'd definitely suggest making some of your homemade swag when you have time, I find it a lot more rewarding to leave something I made (plus then my hubby gets to keep the silly little toys we collect along the way). :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your trip and photos, it's nice to see the beautiful scenery across the pond! :)CacheChickhttp://www.cachechick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28475267.post-71188435415895240682010-09-29T21:22:31.017+01:002010-09-29T21:22:31.017+01:00I too get a little disheartened with caching once ...I too get a little disheartened with caching once in a while. My feeling is usually to do with weather. If it rains and I get wet feet I usually get miserable, or if we're on a trail that is poorly marked and we spend an hour getting nowhere other than lost it gets me down and the enthusiasm dips, but then we go on a trail that's great fun and it all comes flooding back! :D Glad you perked up by the end of your blog post though!<br /><br />Looks like you had a load of exciting trips. That warning of adders would have scared the life out of me though! I told a friend about the cool grass snake I'd encountered on our trail along the canal up north and he then went on to scare me about adders and how someone he knew got bit by one and had their entire foot swell up to the size of the football. Sometimes, you just don't want to be told these things (Sorry! ;) )<br /><br />Great to hear about your personal goal to colour in 10 counties. I'm pretty sure Epping forest is technically Essex too, but funny things can go on with stats and I'm scratching my head at the moment on the one that shows how many caches you have found in one day. Despite logging on two different days, the day that we found 59 caches on wrongly shows that we found 79 caches. I'm going to have to delve deep to work that one out and what's going on with the dates. Maybe something to do with the different time zones?<br /><br />Happy caching! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28475267.post-1484199432809351092010-09-24T20:15:33.291+01:002010-09-24T20:15:33.291+01:00Sounds like a pretty decent month's caching to...Sounds like a pretty decent month's caching to me! I'm amazed that you can recall it all in so much detail.

I haven't done any more than park and grabs because it's been so darn hot here - so I've started to travel for my p&G so I can at least get something out of it ;-)Erika Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063434921764965833noreply@blogger.com
