Finally!! I dropped the TB off at my first-ever geocaching event, which I enjoyed thoroughly. The event was held in a Bulbourne pub (the Grand Junction Arms) on the edge of the Grand Union Canal. The approximately 145-mile canal links London and Birmingham and dates from 1805...quite youthful by English standards. There are about 160 locks along the way, so going by water is a leisurely proposition. (By the way, the first British canals probably were constructed by the Romans as irrigation canals or short connecting spurs between navigable rivers.)
