Get out of Jail Free and Vexatious Villages

Sunday 15th

After the work we got done yesterday today was a day for Geocaching
In all we looked for 9 caches and found 8 of them
Headed over to North Wales
Wehad decided on a list of 32 caches and they were uplodaed into the PDA and we were ready, the forecast was crap which was why we chose N wales as there are plenty of Drive by, cache and dashes
Our main aim was to do the new series by Happy Landins and west Viewers 'Get out of Jail Free'
This was only published on thursday night and was a series of 10m caches which you had to do in order as they are padlocked shut and you can only open them with the combination from the previous cache,

But first we found som Village Vexation caches on the way over to Ruthin.

1. No 1041. ' Saughall Village Vexation'-http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=eab58c3f-0b0e-4ae3-959e-98d015b97a38
This was a very sneaky hide but not very pleasant, I had spoken to Hazels about a FTF she had done a few days ago and she mentioned it was hidden on the underside of the rubbish bin at a bus stop, hadnt realised but it was this cache, so really it was a quick find.

2. DNF 140. ' Halkyn/banyford Village Vexation' http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=839d8e0c-d4d1-4a87-a6da-cc32150b3e3a - Mrs Bargee has been here before and Dnf'd it and we searched for 20 mins to no avail, get back here tonight to log our finds and see that it had been muggled and the cache wasnt there...

3. No. 1042. ' Babel Village Vexation' Another one we had been to before and DNF'd, but this time a quick find, it was a 35mm film cannister wedged behind the board in a Phone box, one of the red ones.

4. No 1043.' Nannoch Village Vexation'
a quick find wedged in a gap in the brickwork of a bus shelter, good hanging baskets and tubs all round the shelter the village obviously takes pride in it.

I will ahve to leave the rest to another post as time for a bit of a kip before work tomorrow
