A Day in Brill

I love Brill it's a great little village where we have often taken the kids to play hide and seek in the Hobbit like hills by the windmill. I have been looking forward to doing some caching in this beautiful village for a while. Sadly we started off with a Did not find (DNF) but the day got better.

All of the caches were done in the following order on Saturday 2nd of July 2011

Anti Social

Muggles galore here today we had a few minutes of peace to do a quick search but there was no sign. Not much of an idea what I was looking for, we'll be back I've no doubt.

The "BRILL -IANT !" Cache (Bucks)

This was really fun to get to both for me and the kids and is the second cache I've found recently where I've thought I could really do with a rope and grappling hook... in a good way! The cache itself is huge but sadly there was nothing in it for the kids, they didn't mind they had loads of fun sliding down the bank. I ended up giving the cache a good clean up, removing the rubbish and leaves etc and putting in a few toys and bits we had for the next team. We spent a good hour playing hide and seek in the hills below the windmill which is reward in itself.

My little girl went flying off the stile near the cache right into nettles and thistles I was very proud when she just got up and brushed herself down. Geocaching is really toughening the kids up . This one was a nice easy find, there was some sort of party going on in the school with the windmill Brill seems like a nice place to live everyone is really friendly.

It's nice to try a new area for caching and notice lots of hides by the same cacher, it gives you a chance to see how their mind works. I've done a couple by Alibags before but they were as different as chalk and cheese so this was a good chance to see if there was a pattern. We started off going wrong wandering off in the wrong direction and seeing some trains wizz past which was cool before checking the GPS, a quick back track and we found the spot one of the pics were taken. I had a good idea what I was looking for so I was heading towards the coords with speed but the kids were lagging behind as there was a concern over bears in the woods (There were no bears in the end but we did see a big frog). I spotted the cache quickly and it made me smile the kids were amazed when they saw it not quite understanding it was the cache at first. Brilliant hide and the best of today's by far. Took the Northern Star TB.
