Location can be very tricky, especially when wet.

Desmond and Timmy have decided to hide their first geocache.

They pack the bikes onto the car and park at the above location.

"Now listen!", said Timmy to Des. "I'm deciding which way to go - I have the compass and map (landranger 193)".

"I don't know why you want to do this the old-fashioned way, I have a perfectly good Etrex here".

"Just get on your bike and shut-up", said Timmy exasperated.

So, the pair set off. "53 degrees true, along this track", said Timmy.

"Now which way?" said Des, as they reached the end of the track.

"Right, across the field".

"No, let's go left, across to that building".

"I've got the compass and I say right."

Des was getting fed up and they'd only just started.

"For $*%)@! sake, why can't I decide?".

"Because I've got the compass, not you."

So off they went and turned right across the field. A short while later a road appeared.

"%)@%^~&£* turn left", said Des.

"Well, we're going straight across, and if you keep swearing then I'm going to insist we start a swear box, and this cache container will suit us fine. 50p a time."

"I'm not £$%^&*( paying 50p", thought Des.

The pair carried on in silence. Until they came across the next road, that is.

"))£@)$?&!( turn left", said Des.

"We are, and at the next crossroads we'll go straight on", said Timmy, studying the map. "Then we hit the forest, so we'll fork right there."

"Where the %^$£ are we going to hide this cache then?", said Des.

"You'll see", although he wasn't too sure he had the map the right way round. Never mind.

"%^&**%$£ hell" shouted Des, "I'm not cycling through there!".

They soon came to a place where the track split into three.

"Stop here!", said Timmy, I want to check where we are on the map. Aha! Nearly there. Turn left and we're nearly there!".

So off they went again following the track until a road appeared.

"Let's hide it just here - a cache and dash. Give me the container".

"But I haven't got the £$%^&%$%^ container", said Des.

"Where the $%^&* is it then you "£$%^", said Timmy, quickly followed by, "you £$%^&& fool, you've dropped the cache somewhere, haven't you?".

"Now look who's swearing!", chortled Des.

So, somewhere on the journey Des dropped the cache......but where?

FTF gets to keep the swear-box fines, and as they forgot to put a pen in the cache can the FTFer please bring a pen for the box!!
