Geocaching Trip in Over Silton - 12 /10/20

 Geocaching Trip out to do the upper loop of Dog Walk Geocaches and Micky N Dave’s ‘Grandma we love you’ Geocache.  At Upper Silton, North Yorkshire, UK.

Well, here it is the mass long log that we sometimes put on geocaches.  We set off first to Micky N Dave’s which we found a handbag in which was rather touching and the contents.  Nice idea and a scenic area also. Good to see the geocaches in tact too!

We then arrived and parked up near #2 of the dog walk and walked up doing the geocaches backwards up the hill as we thought better up first then you go down later! Signed all the logs as either Harps and Sheep or using Rae’s trackable stamp.  

    

We just couldn’t find one of the geocaches which was a multi stumped stump! … Which we had to DNF think it was the third one up from the Greyhound one which we started at.  We met the Bowes family another group of cachers on the way around and had a few hints at one of the caches which was nice and also got tracked! 

The weather was dry but cold and by the end of the loop or rather if your starting the right way it would be the start it had been raining and it was soggy and very muddy.  We found that the loop below was even worse with mud and nearly up to our knees!

     

We met a few muggles on our way around but people seemed to disappear… interesting scenery, farm lands and moor lands.  Thanks for the geocache hides, very interesting containers to Mel and Freddie 17 (and Mia!).

A cute little kennel cache... you can

This log is also going to be published on my random blog at:

We had a great day! Would recommend the area for a good walk, until next time and hopefully more up to date blogs too! 

Blessings,

Rae.

Fairy Doors, Remembering a local actress and being a book fairy.

Ok, so a random post here after doing a shift at our local tourist information centre in our town.  Ok, things definatly have changed *excuse spelling having random weird autocorrect issues!* There's been some lovely flowers spotted out and about on my bike rides recently... Along with the local United Response Boot Shop, a place where people with special needs and disabilities go to learn crafts and wow these doors are beautiful!! It's a shame like anywhere some have been vandalised so, I even put one up for a temp sighting to help them out...  wonder how long that one will last!!

And last but very much not least, today marked the funeral procession and cheers of a well known actress and community helper lady in our area Bronwyn Jennison, who recently died this month.  Lovely lady and talented and well known.  What a send off she had people out in force clapping as the hurst passed by doing a circuit of the market place... they did her proud!

Rest in Peace Bronwyn! You were our towns sweetheart! Brightest of blessings and to your family also.  Rae. x

Sheriff Hutton Geocaching

Sheriff Hutton and Geocaching

Ok, so here I am after not having posted for a while again.  Yes, I feel awful again to those readers that follow my posts... I need more lessons and training to do them! Still trying to figure out how to put more photos up.

 

Well, we did a medium ish walk with 4 geocaches around the little village of Sheriff Hutton here in North Yorkshire. Parking at St Helen and the Holy Cross Church. 

The parish has a connection with the 15th century and the War of the Roses.  Research and information found via google and wikipedia.

We met 2 more blog doggies on the way around as I now call them who posed for a photo for this blog! :D With their owners. 2 very kind locals (we think they were) helped us find one of the geocaches, well the four of us looked everywhere which turned out in the end to be a DNF!! It's good that people do know it's there from the village.  

Sheriff Hutton is a village and civil parish in the Rydale district of North Yorkshire, England, UK. It lies about ten miles north by north east of the historic city of York. www.sheriffhutton.co.uk 

We then went to the Highway Man pub for a drink and some crisps after the walk.

The inn / pub from the outside as pictured above....website found at: https://www.thehighwayman.uk.com/ they seemed to do meals on a Sunday from 6pm during this phase of lockdown easing...not sure if that would change.

We had a good afternoon out caching and the weather seemed to stay great... until the next post...Rae.

Randomness and Rae...

Random blog in lockdown again! ...

Well, ok, so back at my flat, have got a new Akaso DK 7000 action camera to connect to my bike for people that are in lock down and for the life of me, I have tried everything... and cannot get it to connect up with my chromebook, so if anyone knows how please please let me know!! 

Well, its been a busy week and with my mums birthday coming this sunday we may just get out and a bout, maybe with the lockdown easing somethings open... anyone else so fed up with this and just want to go somewhere?  Sad news, ok, I know I am a mad nature fan.... eco friendly lover or what you wish to call me lol.  Someone's gone and drilled and poisoned some of the trees in the wood behind me.  A friend thinks its because they're wanting to do a housing developement over at the back down there next to the old railway line.  Which isn't good me and my friend have already said we didn't want it to happen on a consulation that was posted through our doors.  I continue to go on my facebook and help save our wood.

Untill next time in randomness, Rae 

Reviving a bumblebee

Lockdown Diary for Tuesday 16th June 2020

Here's a quickie of a blog post...

Today we've helped our local tourist office by planting plants in the gardens outside the office, which is to open in mid July for two days which is a good start.  At least something is open, yet still people are wary of how things will be done when picking up leaflets and what not when you go inside.  Unfortunately, I won't be doing any shifts and with the charity shop not opening to volunteers yet I am sort of wanting to do things haha! ... We've been pleased with ourselves today, we seemed to have revived a bumblebee, after it seemed distressed. 



Until the next post... <3 Stay safe and well.

Bruce the Hedgie

George and Bruce 

The names of two of the hedgehogs that visit the Harp's and Willis' households where we live on our street.  Bruce is the largest of the two hedgehogs that our neighbour Mrs Willis weighed...  he weighs a staggering 1113 grams in weight! We both raise money and also take any injured, poorly or hedgehogs that are out in the day... to The Little Silver Hedgehog.  Emma @ https://littlesilverhedgehog.com/ rescues and nurses injured ones back to health as well as Mrs Willis being one of the foster mums being there for the hedgies getting better. Emma's facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/littlesilverhedgehog/
(Bruce in the garden)

George is a smaller hedgehog that we have found to be one of the 'lower rank' when it comes to him meeting Bruce...I've never thought hedgehogs could fight like that or be like that.  But they're interesting creatures and when they're not together interesting eaters and roamers!

Until the next post, stay safe and well during these strange times.

A late reply of an apology and also hedgehog diaries...

A busy lockdown random diary entry...

Well, ok, so I know this isn't a good enough excuse for being busy doing geocaching, walking and gardening for not doing my blog... so my apologies for that.

We've recently been looking after, or rather putting food out for the resident hedgehogs in our garden.  Along with the bee and insect hotel and reviving a bumble bee earlier today.  That and other random things... These are the geocaches (Want to know about geocaching click here!) we did nearby the nearby Terrington area geocaches and found a few but not that many which is sad... have any of you done them and can maybe help?
