Geocaching at Sandringham

Today the Compass Group went to Sandringham Park, it was packed as the Flower Festival was on so we decided to ramble through the woods. David brought his GPS again so we went to look for a cache that was hidden in the trees. These are the pictures of our day.

We found the rough area using an OS map and compass, then it was time to switch on the GPS.

The trail took us into the woods searching for the right spot.

After some effort we found it!!!

And wrote in the log book and swapped some stuff from the cache.

Everyone said this was some of the best fun they had had in ages and want to do this lots more, we all said that geotrackeruk hid a very good cache and we hope they will do lots more, we looked on Dave's phone and saw that there are loads all around us so we will do this again.

We had a lovely day and say thank you to geotrackeruk.

Ruth, Paul, Lily, Shane and Rose.

COMPASS GROUP TRIP TO HUNSTANTON

WEDNESDAY 29TH JUNE 2011

The Kings Lynn Self Advocacy Group went on an outing to Hunstanton.  Shane and I got on the bus at Kings Lynn bus station at 9.25am and arrived at Hunstanton Bus Station at about 10.15am and walked up to the White Lighthouse and met up with David and Rosie at 10.45am. 

Once we had met up we walked down to the beach. 

David allowed me to hold the GPS Machine, this is a machine that tells you how many feet you are from the box and which direction to go in.  Also if you have difficulty in finding the box as we did it will give you a description of where it is located, but sadly despite all the searching we did not find the box which is called Geocache.

After all our searching we decided to stay on the beach and have our lunch. Shane brought scones and pork pies, I brought some Skips and Hula Hoops and we shared it amongst ourselves.  After lunch we sat and had a chat about other meetings etc and then David asked us if we would like a cup of tea and we all said yes and walked back up to the Lighthouse Cafe and had a very nice cup of tea.  As David had to take his car to the garage in Kings Lynn he offered to give us a lift home.

A lovely day was had by all.
