So today was the Assault on the Wirral, the epic geocaching trip that Andrea in work had been planning for so long. I picked up Steve who hadn't got any caches yet, and we set off her her Mum in tow. It didn't start out too well, we couldn't find some, and we tried to do a multicache which was a dismal failure. It was through lots of wet grass so we got wet feet almost instantly, and I dropped her beloved GPS while climbing over a stile and didn't realise for ages, but fortunately we found it quite easily.
But once we started heading up the Wirral, the caches came thick and fast, and we ended up with quite a lot. There's some interesting and beautiful places on the Wirral, and we were intrigued by the Wirral Way, an old railway that's been converted to a cycle track. We also had really really good ice cream, and I had chocolate lime flavour, something I've never seem before but was delicious. Towards the end of the day we got to Wallasley and Birkenhead, which was somewhat of a shock, literally five minutes after nice country lanes it suddenly felt unsafe to leave your doors unlocked.
Still, it was a fantastic day. Steve and I got 41 in total, so that was ace, while Andrea and her Mum got 36 as they had done some of them already.
