Last Week..
We had an afternoon out at Ilam Hall and Park, in the Peak District. The intent was to have a walk and do some Geocaching. We did walk and we did Geocache, but we also did a few other things (such as Pooh sticks, make use of a wishing well and visit a tea room). Check out the photos at www.ohbeep.com/ilam.
The Geocache we found:
GC2RH4C - White Peak 1 by NT Peak District
Feedback..
From Redbeard4570..
Sounds you guys had a grand time on International EarthCache Day 2014. I did! 2 events and an earthcache. All were in Hutchison, KS, USA.
First event was GC5E1G1 a meet and greet and eat. I was following your advise and eating before caching! 30 plus cachers were on hand with several from both Oklahoma and Nebraska. Not bad having cachers from 3 states.
Second event was the official International EarthCache Day event GC5CQBT. 90% of those at the first event made to this one with a few on hand who were not at the first event. Both events were enjoyed by all.
Last, but not least, was the EarthCache GC5CVNN Strataca - Underground Salt Mine. Hutchison Kansas is one of the largest salt producing areas in Kansas. This is an excellent EarthCache and I highly suggest any cacher that happens to be in the area to go for this one. All info and items needed to find and log this excellent EarthCache as "found" are above ground and free of charge. The mine offers tours, however the tour does require a fee.
The 2 events and the EarthCache were all 3 the work of the TheLabGuys. This caching team is fast becoming known for both great events and caches. Hope everyone else had the chance to get out and earn the special EarthCache souvenir!
P.S.- I also had the chance to help coach a new cacher from my home area on EarthCache day at the events and the hide! We also found one of the most creative hides I've ever found! GC5E6EE Air Mail Hotel. If you find yourself in Hutchison Kansas this is a must have find! Cache on!

What's Moan-A-Lot Been Up To This Week?..
GC588QR Oh Noe Not Again! by Paperballpark
Oh Noe Not Again indeed, loved this cache! Was such fun to retrieve as the others have said we'd done the close by jaggers clough series and various others on route.
I'd read the description before setting off but forgot my wellies, so in I went with just my walking boots on straddling the sides yes I got wet, and yes I found the cache :-)
Squelched back to the car and started to dry off, boots were emptied socks off and clean ones on, you know the score but just then a muggle rounded the corner as i was perched on my (pink) towel in boxer shorts and t shirt, told the poor bugger not to ask "i won't, but is the quickest way to Edale?" Luckily the others in the car answered while I continued to change! Deffo favourite point awarded thanks for the entertainment :-)

A log in cache GC3EMP8 Angel of Success 1 - The Angel Series by ConnieCache
Hi,
This is the Omaha Bomb Squad! Apparently a muggle has found your cache and called us to report it as a suspicious device. Unfortunately we have to treat all calls like this as real so we rendered the suspicious device safe which is bomb squad lingo for "we blew it up"! Fortunately the log and the angel trinket included in the cache were recovered undamaged. If you want your log and trinket back call the Omaha Police Department on our main number 402-444-5818 and we can arrange for you to get your property back.
Respectfully,
OPD Bomb Squad
Event..
Geocaching at Stonehenge (from The National Trust website) on Oct 28, 2-4pm (there is a small admission fee of £4).
