Woolton village on a sunday afternoon ....

We decided that we would go geocaching last Sunday we worked our way from our house and thought we would see where we ended up... Woolton Village

Our first one of the day was a first for the hider! Great little cache, put us on a good mood for the day!

We had great fun looking for the one at Halewood station!! Be debate about which side of the road...this side no this side no this side... while looking like a odd preson with all those muggles about, on a Sunday!
In the end we found it:

Alas we were full of false hope! Hunts cross station was no luck!!! After much discussion we gave up!
The one at Tescos was fun. We pulled up and knew exacly where it was, but right by the cache was a car with a woman and kids in so we dicided to go and have a walk around Tescos.  20 minets later the car was gone and it was time to act a little suspicious!! Kay was great stright in to the cache, little ooh Ive dropped something and the cache was ours! Due to the fact we already looked odd we thought pictures were out of the question!  A couple of quick movemnts and th cache was back, and off we were...To the pond


Yes parking in a pond, quiet an odd feeling! There is supposed to be a cache around the pond, but after an hour we were no closer to locating it and more likely to be arreted for looking like we were up to no good! he he he

On the way to the next cache we found a out of place animal:

The next cache is our favorat to date!

Being HUGH Beatles fans we were over excited to go visiting the resting place of Eleanor Rigby! Off we went up to St Peters Curch:

Then we found Eleanor:

And 2 in front in a father called McKenzie!! Well just when we were taking pictures the church alarms starts going off, and  a woman walks out of the church, so we do out good deed and call the caretaker! While we were waiting we went off to find the cache. (Everything was ok with the church!)

On the way back to the car we poped to the church hall to see the plaque of where John meet Paul! 

Think what you will but I like to think that while John and Paul were sat in the grave yard writting songs they picked up on the name of Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie and when it came to writting the song they remebered those names from all that time ago!
