Caching Tales

Move over Mildenhall Murder Mystery adventure lab, there’s a new set of mystery labs in town…well just up the road!  Yes, this month we finally published ‘The Barrow Highwayman Mystery’, our second series of adventure labs. And just like our Mildenhall series, there’s a mystery solve! It’s actually taken us a good 20 months to get around to developing the second series. So long in fact, that at one point we feared we might lose the adventure lab credit having held on to it for so long, especially when HQ started sending reminders about using it last year. But luckily, they let us keep it long enough to sit down and write another one.   Whilst laid up recently, recovering from an op, I sat googling a lot of crap on my phone…like you do…and by pure chance I came across a story about a Highwayman in Barrow in the 1700s.  As I probed various sites for more details I found different versions of the story, but all seemed to have a few common traits – clues at the scene includin...

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve been able to hit the Geocaching trails, owing to the fact I’ve been laid up on the sofa after a recent op. Luckily, all went well and I mended pretty quickly, so finally after 3 weeks of watching way too much daytime TV, writing a new ad lab and solving a few mystery caches, I was finally ready to escape the house and get out on my next Geocaching adventure.   Our first was to the North Norfolk coast, where we decided to venture along from the busy tourist hot spot of Cromer and do a nice series at Kelling.  It was a nice walk out of the village and into a nearby woodland and then across fairly dry tracks to the beach and back again.  Sadly, the weather wasn’t great. Big black clouds loomed over us for half the walk and the wind was bitterly cold. We very nearly made it all the way round before the heavens opened and soaked us, but weather aside, it was a nice series, and just the right length, as I was still supposed to be taking it easy...
