Wearing thin!

After the initial rush for caches and our excitement there should be a lull.  Not just yet though, we are still going strong. 

Determined to keep it up and having started a healthy eating plan too we are still on the hunt. 

An observation is that as we get more into caching the more we need "stuff" to cache with.  Luckily we already have sturdy walking boots and dogs, both items are important for walking.  We have a rucksack, gloves, hats, poo bags (for the dogs) and water bottles! All these things are desired for some caching but there are so many more things we can add to our needs. 

Thermals have been a bonus, unable to find a use in the past for the thermals we have in the drawer now we are shopping for more! Waterproof gloves for rooting around, regular gloves no longer cut it! The waterproof trousers before only used for golf or the 2 days of snow a year we usually get, now they are the choice of all good cachers (us). 

Then there is the "stuff" we now need (want), the things that would make the days even better! New walking boots, shoes and sandals (yes serious summer walking sandals). Micro fleece is a must, sweat repelling is oh so important when walking.  A stick, the walking variety, needed for hills and holding back the undergrowth. And so many more things we spot all the time. 

So the caching isn't slowing down, even in the current cold snap, we are brave hearty souls!

I have to say despite the cold and wet we still love getting out, the dogs need to walk regardless and they don't complain when we saddle them up for a days caching.  We are now planning our weekend getaways once we have settled our house sale and sorted out the boxes we are neglecting. The fun goes on and on, even though we are now having to make our caching circle wider every week!
