The Big 200

Today marked our 200th cache. We only discovered Geocaching in August 2011 and headed out one weekend to entertain the kids by finding a few of our local caches. Our first cache turned out to be just a stones throw away from our house and by the end of that day we were hooked.

Reaching 200 caches has involved a lot of effort, a lot of time and a lot of mud but I can honestly say it has been worth it. It's quite difficult explaining Geocaching, as going out and hunting for tupperware in the woods sounds a bit odd, but at the end of the day it's simply a brilliant excuse for getting out of the house. The very nature of the sport also means you're constantly going to new places and we've discovered dozens of really great things along the way, some of which were really near to us but which we just never knew were there.

We've also recently placed our first two caches for which we've had lots of good comments and encouragement from other cachers. We've got quite a number of other caches planned for the near future so watch this space!

Our first travel bug also started his journey just last weekend. Thomas the Turkey set off on his travels under the title Run Thomas Run. We look forward to following his adventures and we've got a heap of other TBs waiting to be set free soon.

So 200 down 1500000 to go I think it might be time to go Premium!!
