An eventful few days

 Decided it was time to attend a geocaching event and have now done 3 in as many days. First two were a Saturday. The first was GC1J1M1 - The Service. I parked at the Ridgeway in Blackrod, this is the venue of the second event, and walked along the A6 with the Linedancers and then took the path down to the Service Sation area. On the way down we were able to get the following caches. GC1KFF4 - Bocca Della Verita, GC1KFF4 - Unlucky Seven, GC1KFEQ - Motorway Gridlock, GC1KFDY - Close encounters of the M61 Motorway Kind. After this it was inside for a brew and a sight that this service station will most likely not see again. There was close to 50 people in the resturant and the staff looked amuzed to where everyone had come from. After leaving the service i walked back to the Ridgeway Arms and the second event of the day, GC1JVJ2 - After The Gold Rush. On the way to here i took the oppertunity to pick up GC10RR5 - Cemetery Gates and GC19970 - Side Tracked Blackrod. It was then into the pub for a drink, food and a chat. After spending about 2 hours here i decided to head upto Windy Hill and drop three Northwest Caching Race Bugs off into GC3A42 - Windy Hill. But before leaving the Horwich area i decided to find GC1JNMB - Lest We Forget - Horwich and GC163PE - Station to Station Park. 

The final event was GC1GPKE - Clare's Birthday Bash Cache. The night started off with 11 caches to be found and then a meal in the pub, this being the Smithy Inn, Much Hoole. The birthday cake was in the form of a ammo can complete with swaps and TB's. So after never being to an event before it was three in 3 days.
