International

Copenhagen, Denmark - visited 21-24 November 2019. A cold few days with bitter winds but lots of caches including Denmark's First cache.  Eight cache types found (Traditional, Wherigo, Letterbox, Virtual, Multi, Earth, Mystery, Webcam).  Little Mermaid statue was disappointing but the river boats were well worth a trip. Linie 991/992 GC444HP (wherigo) involved a trip on the boats to get the required info, well worth a trip.

Valetta, Malta - visited 25-27 November 2021.  Thankfully got there despite Covid restrictions, warmer than home but still cool.  Completed the I heartMalta wherigo cartridge but didnt have time to collect.  7 Cache Types found (Traditional, Letterbox, Earth, Virtual, Mystery, Multi, Event)

Ask The Queen GC6EWW0 a multi cache based around Buckingham Palace - great and different idea - found 20th September 2017

Under the M62 GC58FY1 a multi cache at Scammonden Dam in a tunnel under the M62.  Looking for a small magnetic cache in a dark tunnel. Took about 20 minutes of searching with 1JN3

WOOSH 20 – Wet Steps Mystery GC6F2Q4 a mystery at Hawkshaw in a tunnel.  1JN3 went in as I decided it would be too dificult to climb back up.  Solved a puzzle to get a code to open a padlock which allowed access to a key to open another padlock to reveal the log.  1JN3 D/T grid filler
