Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the published coordinates. You need to solve a puzzle first.

When I was a teenager my father advised me to join the Civil Service as he said I would have a job for life.  Although that isn’t true nowadays it worked for me.  I had a long, varied career until I retired.  I started working for the Inland Revenue as a teenager, followed by the Overseas Development Administration and finally the Foreign & Commonwealth Office – the last two now combined into FCDO.

It meant a lot of moving around so even in retirement I’ve found myself unable to settle down, which fitted in with my wife’s hobby, geocaching.  This series encompasses our 6 postings followed by our travels in retirement. Each cache has an associated puzzle.

We came here for another one of our short, Christmas geocaching trips.
