I couldn't believe it when I turned up (late) and saw so many excited faces anticipating the next treasure hunt. I think that's the biggest group we've ever had since we started geocaching a few months ago! Awesome!
Because of the weather and not knowing what it was going to be like that day, I'd decided to do a quick geocache, just in case it was going to be raining. It didn't. And 'quick' was definitely an understatement. Our very experienced geocaching kids had found the cache even before the last of our group had arrived at the site. I think that broke the record of quickest finds for us.
The container was an old army ammo tin, but it was so rusty we nearly didn't manage to open it. Some hard tugging and pulling finally did the trick, but the disappointment was great. Such a huge container and hardly any goodies... I think we all expected a lot more in there. Thankfully the kids were all a good sport and swapped trinkets between themselves and we added some more into the container, so that the next finders won't have the same disappointment.
After our quick hunt we gathered up the kids again and some of us went to the playground for afternoon tea and others decided to explore the rock pools. And others decided to watch the construction work at the beach. Nice digger!
About the cache name: The person who hid this cache three years ago dedicated this one to another geocacher called Navigull. Hence the name :-)
