    Dropped Off 4/20/2013 geocachecat placed it in East Neuk Travel Bug Hotel Northern Scotland, United Kingdom - 2.14 miles  Visit Log

    Placed so someone else can take it to old places.
    Visited 4/20/2013 geocachecat took it to Fife Rocks! Series: Fossil Tree Root Northern Scotland, United Kingdom - 2.34 miles  Visit Log

    Again, a very old thing. Still not a building though....

    Most wood fossils have been formed by permineralisation, otherwise known as petrification. In the case of the tree root here, it is likely that when this area became submerged with water millions of years ago, sediment would have covered it. Water would have seeped in slowly and rock-like minerals in it gradually replaced the original material to form this fossil. The fossil has the same shape as the original object, but chemically it is more like rock.

    Visited 4/20/2013 geocachecat took it to The Blue Stone Northern Scotland, United Kingdom - 5.03 miles  Visit Log

    OK, so it wasn't an old building, but this TB hasn't moved anywhere for a while.

    The stone is really old though, it's a large boulder sitting on its own in the sand here. It would have been transported here by a glacier during one of the ice ages and left behind when the ice disappeared. It's now smooth surface is a result of erosion by the sea rather than by ice.

    Visited 4/20/2013 geocachecat took it to Buddo Rock Earthcache Northern Scotland, United Kingdom - 307.87 miles  Visit Log

    Having not moved this coin for a while, I thought I would take it to some old things before moving it on into a cache for someone else.

    Buddo Rock is likely to have once been part of a much larger sandstone shelf, and the softer stone surrounding it would have been eroded away by the sea to leave this huge formation some distance apart from the rest of the cliffs. The eroded surfaces vary from being crinkly in texture, with crazy swirls and obvious layers, to smoother sections and areas with pitted circular holes. A wide range of colours can also be seen in the structure. In addition, there is a natural arch on the east side which gives Buddo Rock its distinctive appearance.

    I've had this coin for a while. I'm really sorry, I lost my GPS and forgot all about this coin.

    I'll put it somewhere in the next couple of weeks.

    I took the coin to Tattershall Castle, but didn't have the time to drop it off in caches nearby (also, the nearest one wasn't very near!)

    Tattershall Castle’s is a medieval castle, built in the 1440s by Lord Cromwell, however, it wasn’t the first castle to stand on this site. An earlier stone castle was built by Robert de Tateshale in the early 13th century. Many carved stone remnants from this lost castle can still be seen on local houses.

    Retrieve It from a Cache 6/6/2009 geocachecat retrieved it from Uniquely Shuttleworth - Sea Hurricane Eastern England, United Kingdom   Visit Log

    Retrieved from Old Warden.

    I shall take advantage of my National Trust membership and take it to a nice stately home somewhere.

    • A picture of Shuttleworth Not quite the view from where the coin was hidden, but one that can be seen whilst on the Unique Shuttleworth walk.

    Apologies for the long delay in placing this travel bug but unavoidable commitments have prevented any caching for a while. Your TB is now just about overlooking Shuttleworth College in Bedfordshire which is one of my favourite buildings in the area:
