Dropped Off 2/6/2008 Sir PhilPamAndRob placed it in Alta Vista I - Liverpool highest United Kingdom - 13.07 miles  Visit Log

There are very few caches in Liverpool, the county town of Merseyside, and virtually all are micros. However, this new cache appeared in January and is large enough to accommodate TBs and coins. So in order to score Country Town point, it really had to be this cache.

This morning this gingerbread Racer GC visited the two other types of trig point at Daresbury

Fundamental Bench Mark (FBM) Location : SJ 57737 82364, and the active station at the CLRC Daresbury Laboratory, location : SJ 57455 83290.

The photo of the latter is poor as it was dark, but the active station in the aerial just left and up from the illuminated window (to the right of the drainpipe)

Thats 20 more points in the bag for this racer!

Don't run just yet, its tiome for points on the board!!!!
This NW racer has met a SE racer TB - thats 25 juicy points! The SE racer is "Flash Harry! SE Cachers 2008 Race Bug" code TB21JG6.
Took a photo of them together, so does that double the points to 50? I'll let you decide!
