Actually, it wasn't a series, it was a selection of hand picked stand alone caches. We decided to return for your Snowshill series when we book in for an overnight stay somewhere in the future

Hi GG  :D
We would love to come BUT unfortunately, I am at work all day tomorrow and Paul (The Lizard King) who does the driving is laid low with 'flu  :( I will keep on the lookout for future events though, and feel certain that we will meet eventually. We love your neck of the woods - in fact one of our most memorable caching excursions was in The Cotswolds a couple of years back.

Well, this seems very much like "the return of the prodigal daughter"!  ;)

I had very much missed the West Midlands Regional Geocaching Forum, joined a facebok group (which I just got more and more frustrated with for several reasons, so I left) Happily, I rediscovered this site this morning   ;D
Have I got some catching up to do!  :o

They sell torches in our local Sainsbury's, so I claim a connection  ;) ;D

My recommended walks would have to include some from the Shropshire Hills and The Long Mynd area  :D
This is one we chose after looking through the photos posted by previous visitors. It was the only one we did that day, but we didn't need to do any more

Earlier in the year we booked into a Premier Inn near Gloucester because we wanted to sample a "new" area. We only had 3 days and in that time, we did a grand total of 11 caches!  ;) culminating in Wrighty's "13 counties view"
What an absolutely wonderful time we had  :D :D :D Nearly every cache was carefully selected before we left home, and we had no intention of just boosting our numbers. What a wonderful area which we are very keen to return to. (we've just got to do "Snowshill Scramble" series  ;D)

Perhaps walktall will recognise this location  ;)

We only did 5 caches in July  :o but in the absence of any other nominations, perhaps I could suggest
"View from Coombe Hill"
I'm sure many of you have done it already  :)

Not complicated, no tricky challenge to find it, but the views from the location brought a joy to our souls

"Our" sort of caching! And being the First geocache in England, quite appropriate as a momination for the first featured Cache of The Month!  ;)

Hello Pundles  :)

Your arrival means I'm no longer the "newest kid on the block"  ;)
(I'm still caching up on reading all the posts so I'm taking on a rather passive role in the forum at the moment)

I think our paths crossed unknowingly at the "Come and Meet" event at Baddesley recently. Never mind, we are rather partial to a bit of Blind Mouse puzzling, so maybe we will have another chance to make your aquaintance  :D

I am now very much a quality not quantity cacher. Both myself and Omis49 would rather walk 10 miles for 1 fab cache rather that walking around a series of grotty micros.
Even on the Geolympix I have chosen my route going on the favourite points rather than just grab the closest of each of the icons.
We feel the same way

Actually, we went to the Geolympix Mega Event and decided to do a spot of caching around Oxford city. We had not properly done our homework beforehand to pick out a route. We only did two in the end so we decided to go for "View from Coombe Hill" instead. How glad we did!  ;D

Perhaps I had better warn everyone - I am very slow at typing, so that's why GG got in before I had finished my last post  :) but thanks very much for the welcome, Griff  :D

Wow! That was quick, GG Thanks  ;D

For anyone who is interested, I am the younger half of "Izzy and The Lizard King" (but only just younger!  ;))
We live in Wolverhampton but prefer to cache in Shropshire. Although we have been caching since Jan 2005, we have only found just over 2300 caches (which is peanuts compared to some folk we know who have been caching for just one or two years!!!) In our defence  ;) we are not interested in numbers - for us "location, location, location" is our main motivation for choosing which caches to go for.

I spend quite a bit of time an the West Midlands Regional Forum, where I am one of the mods. I reckon I've got quite a bit of catching up to do on here to get up to speed  ;)
