torkell | More virtual mountain climbing: Vinson (Reply)

Geocaching.com's Reach the Peak challenge has progressed through two more mountains since I last blogged about it. September's challenge was Vinson, and what with one thing and another I only scored 3175 points, not enough to reach the summit (4892 points needed). Let's see what I did find...

Benbow Pond and The Queen Elizabeth Oak, on a trip to (surprise, surprise!) Benbow Pond near Midhurst to meet up with mummy and daddy and (also surprise, surprise!) see the Queen Elizabeth Oak. This was actually the second time we met there and tried geocaching - the first time we found the remains of the QE Oak cache which had been muggled, or possibly cowuggled.

Petersfield Pond Perambulation: so this was a spontaneous Adventure Lab my sister and I did after a trip to the dentist. Our dentist is up in Sutton - normally we all visit as a family, but because Covid it was just my sister and I - and on the way back we were trying to find somewhere for a late lunch and eventually settled on Petersfield because we could work out how to get there. After a hilarious car park navigation fail (I blame poor road signs) we had lunch and then wandered around, taking over Pokémon Go gyms (as you do), and eventually found a pond full of exotic-looking Egyptian Geese with this Adventure Lab!

September didn't turn out to have all that much geocaching in it in the end. Maybe October was more successful?
