A watery reunion!

On a sunny Sunday afternoon I took the aged parent along the river at my new work location to look for the elusive kingfisher that I spotted when I was checking out the caches in my new area. The caches are all located along the river that runs through our town and you have to access them by boat. As Mum and I wandered along, me having seen two streaks of blue but her having seen nothing because they were moving too fast, 4 canoes came into view.

As the last one went by and got grounded in the shallow weeds, I ventured to call out 'You're not geoaching are you?', to which I received a positive reply. It turns out that they were from the geocaching group I met with during my project. They had ventured out from windy Norfolk to sunny Lincolnshire and were tracking the river caches. They had all been on the halloween night caching trip that I went on.


As we were separated by the river bank and water, the coversation concluded, but I was surprised to meet so briefly and unexpectedly with them. I'll have to put a message on their forum to get them to contact me if any of them come over here again! Maybe the adventure will continue? It certainly made me more determined to catch up with my latest contact here to try again with the whole idea.
