You will have gleaned from the last blog that I need to find two SideTracked caches in two new counties to qualify for a SideTracked Challenge. I worked out how I could accomplish this in one journey and came up with Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

We are going away for a few days to Studley Castle in Warwickshire. I saw on the map that it's quite near Bearley where BT used to have a Receiving Station when HF was the main medium for radio communication.

Last night, my wife asked me where I was going caching in the morning. When I told her, she started doing an Apache war cry.

I’m continuing on the NHS series in Swanley this morning. I was here before dawn picking up #2 : Ambulance Technicians that I had missed before.

We are getting a bit more adventurous so we are off on a coach trip to Lewes in East Sussex today. We had to go through all the covid preparations as well as having our temperature taken before we could set off.

My Geocaching week used to be to go out on one weekend morning and be back for ten plus a whole day out on one other day of the week.

It’s unfortunate that my birthday is now overshadowed by 9/11. It’s also a reminder that the daughter of one of my work colleagues, a young lady from Rugby, Warks, was working in NYC on that day. So RIP, Carly Barbara Rogers.

I was checking out my D/T stats the other day looking to add some 5/4.5 caches to my list when I spotted a glaring omission.

I don’t know why I called this Radio X but it’s my number one FM rock station at the moment. There were some great tunes playing as I drove into Dartford just before dawn this morning.

Today I’m making a bold step - going into Kent on a weekday and during the rush hour.🤔 I want to check out the traffic in case it’s a good move and I also want to try the new 113 strong NHS series set around Swanley by jazzyjessups.
