Kerplunk!

May 4th, 2009 by Sarah



A bank holiday weekend couldn’t go by without some caching, and that’s what we ended up doing today (well, Joe and I did, with a friend).

This was a really fun one. The usual 35mm film pot was at the bottom of the tube, held up with crossed knitting needles in Kerplunk style. It had a magnet attached, and there was a string with a magnet attached, for you to ‘fish’ the pot out with. Only at various points through the tube there were knitting needles inserted and glued in place, so the film pot couldn’t get through easily, you had to make sure you got the string dangled down through in the right place!
This is typical of the creativity I’ve seen by this and other local cache setters – what a great idea for an individual cache :)

We did a few more as well, a couple were re-visits and found this time so that was good – and we had lunch in a nice cafe on the Quay as well :)

The girls have been doing their own thing with friends today, and Steve has had the not-so-nice job of sanding down then painting the underside of the canopy at the garage, a bank holiday job only, as they’ve had to move all the cars onto ATS’s forecourt next door in order to get the scaffold tower up to do it. Yuk.
