I’m heading down into Kent this morning as the A13 isn’t closed for those dreaded road works. I’m planning to do some more of jazzyjessups’s Retirement Ramble series but I have a few former DNFs to find on the way.
First off was the Blockbuster-Stylee Bingo(ish) Challenge cache in the Bluewater shopping complex in Greenhithe. I qualified for this one ages ago but it was MIA when I had my first look. Now that it had been replaced, it was time for another try. As it was brightly lit up over there, I was in and out before dawn having made a quick find.
The RST mystery at Southfleet was another previous failure for me but now it has been replpaced, I had another easy experience. Next up was Farningham where I picked up the CM multi that I had solved some time ago but didn’t have time to collect.
Just down the road In Eynsford was another section of the Retirement Ramble series of trads that I was after. I must admit that I did the first section of #15a to #15e and #16 as drive bys. I also found the mystery Congratulations agrajag on his 40K cache. I hope that it’s not to much to give away that I found the cache in the photo along this section. Now I have found fingers and even a leg as caches before but never a head. Has anyone found any other body parts?
I headed back to the High Street and quickly worked out the multi at Fancy Some Cake? The coords were close to where the next section of the RR series so I quickly found the well hidden cache.
I started on the footpath up the hill to #24. I had been here before on a previous JJ series which had been archived. I worked my way through the fields and the woods picking up well hidden trads until I sorted out the multi at #17. Now this was to be a linear route but I had one more cache to find before getting back to the car and heading for home.
I eventually reached the Sarah Jane Smith mystery and had a quick find and a surprise when I found it. As I was walking to the cache, I read in the hint that I would need a Phillips screwdriver. Now this would be tricky as I hadn’t brought one.☹️ However, a quick search of my geo kit came up with something that gave me a chance. Luckily I was able to sign the log sheet and more importantly, putting the cache back together.
