2 years on

Before I knew what was happening the 2 year post diagnosis milestone was looming large on the horizon, our 2000th geocache find was also fast approaching. Could we somehow manage to celebrate both things on the same day?

So there followed a few weeks of frantic planning and co-ordinating and lots of not finding any geocaches!

With five days to go we still needed 9 geocache finds, so evening walkies became geocaching walkies. Over the next few evenings the GPS, torch and mobile phone batteries all ran out of power and switched themselves off at the most unhelpful moment, but we found some lovely places to stroll around that we will visit again in daylight and we also took the geocache tally to 1999. I resisted the urge to sing the song by prince of the same name, there were other people around.

The day of the celebrations, now dubbed Y2K, dawned dry and sunny. We had arranged to meet some geocaching friends and go for a walk to a waterfall to celebrate with the geocache at the waterfalls being find number 2000 for Holly and me. We all met up and had a lovely walk through the woods to the falls where we stopped for a while to partake in drinks and nibbles (lemonade and home made millionaires shortbread for the humans, Burns kelties dog treats for the various hounds) much to the amusement of other walkers and joggers passing by.

It was a lovely trip out and well worth a bit of rushing round to find the extra geocaches for.
