A fellow cacher said “When in a single day I find geocaches from more than just one listing service I consider that day a great geocaching day. And when it happens that they are all of a different geocache type I consider I just had a perfect geocaching day as I was able to experience the full variety of geocaching.” With that in mind he set the following challenge as a cyber cache (CC8F45 Perfect Geocaching Day) on Terracaching.com: 

You must find geocaches from at least 5 different geocache listing services and they all must be of a different geocache type and all that in a single day.

Today was my day to attempt that challenge. By the end of the day I had found 10 caches of 8 different types on 6 listing sites from the largest Geocaching.com to one of the smallest Cotswold Caching

The day to date had gone:

GC468RA Church Micro 3358…Abbey Hill groundspeak multicache

GA10654 The perfect Geocaching day event   geocaching.com.au event cache

TC43IY Bottle of vintage TC (Terracaching Cider)   terracaching moving cache

GA1825 Cachemobile geocaching.com.au locationless cache. 

TC2VGP RAF Chedworth Terracaching.com offset/letterbox cache

GE0324 RAF geocaching.gpsgames.org Traditional cache

 

So after logging SoccerFanatics new cache on gpsgames, the three of us (Mrs WPB, myself and the CO- a bit of a tenses.buildings.bonus there- can't really dnf with the CO in the party to point you in the right direction!) set of to find the location of this puzzle cache. Incidentally I loved these puzzles and something similar will surely be appearing in my neck of the woods sometime soon smile

An indeterminate time later we arrived at a likely spot to search and a quick investigation revealed the cache unfound for a couple of years. Mrs WPB snapped a few photos while I signed the log, then Gackt showed us a few other interesting locations in the immediate area. Very interesting place, well worth a visit. We were glad we came. Thanks for the puzzle and cache smile At this stage of the day with 7 caches found we had achieved our 'Perfect Geocaching Day' with still more to come. laughing
