Current Goal

This coin has marks from both Garmin and Enjoy England, and as such would like to visit places related to GPSes (so any Geocache will do) all over England. More specifically, it would like to visit every county in England.

The coin started life in Surrey, and would like to visit each and every county in England, seeing the wonderful varying countryside that each county has to offer. A list of visited counties will be maintained on the coin's tracking page on geocaching.com.

It would be very much appreciated if, when logging the coin, you added a brief note of which county the coin is in, to help with potentially tricky map reading. If you can't move the coin to a different county, feel free to move it elsewhere in the current one to help it see new areas and allows others to help it along on its mission.

A few yards from Redbourn Cricket Ground, which claims to be the oldest extant cricket ground in England - and therefore, probably, in the world. Seemed like an appropriate setting in Hertfordshire for this coin!
