5th June 2010
Yes, yes I know that it has been quite a while since I last wrote in this blog....however there is such a thing as the world cup to concentrate on as well. This geocaching excursion was taken before the world cup started and probably explains why you may be seeing some world cup t-shirts being worn along the way. Now that the misery of the world cup is over and Mr Shiltonpig realises he has put on too much weight drinking beer and not exercising, its back to business of geocaching. This adventure took us to the boundaries of Nottingham.

Now I have used this blog before to say that I have seen giant animals, but finally have some proof that we were in some kid of "Honey I shrunk the Geocachers" type of Hollywood B movie. Just for the record I would like to point out that I am too young to remember what a B movie actually is. Mrs Shiltonpig isn't though. For those of you wanting to know where we exactly went please
click on the linky poo. It really is a family friendly place and about 12-14 caches in the nearby area, so well worth a visit if you ask me. It was at one end of this park however where we noticed all the giant animals.

One of the caches in the area required you to fill in details of a crossword with all the animals you would find. Then certain letters would represent a number and before you know it you had the co-ords to a geocache. In the same area there was a maze where you could find a real treasure chest which was a very small deviation of your geocaching type adventures. It was boiling today and Mr Shiltonpig actually gave up geocaching at one point, collapsed on the ground and demanded a Mr Whippy ice cream. He was fortunate that Mrs Shiltonpig had just enough energy to make it to the ice cream van otherwise he might still be on the floor

as we speak. It was around this time that Mr Shiltonpig was lying on the floor when a huge 50 foot wooden snake crept up behind him and then trapped him in his jaws. Sadly Mr Shiltonpigs karate type skills were not captured on video and so sadly all is lost, but needless to say you could have eaten snake burgers for a month after he had finished with him. Next up was a giant grasshopper that viciously attacked Mrs Shiltonpig...but the grasshopper had picked the wrong geocacher to fight with and soon enough Mrs Shiltonpig had the hopper just where she wanted. It would spoil the surprise to say what other giant animals lurk in this corner of

Nottinghamshire...you will just have to get some courage and tackle it yourself. We also saw a stream train when we tackled the asher lane cache, and Josh was going wild as he loves his "choo choo's" at the moment. Well the humidity today was like being abroad and so we sneaked home early (a bit like Englands performance in the World Cup).
Nice to see you back ShiltonPig, we wondered where you had gone, should have known it was the footballs fault.
