My lovely niece discovered this little challenge, and by now, you’ll realise that I am a fan these kinds of geocaches.

I thought that the challenge is to find a geocache on 8 different islands, but on rereading the Geocache instructions, the challenge is to find 8 geocaches on islands, which isn’t the same thing. The islands can be in rivers and lakes, or just off the coast, and have to be ones that you have to wade, swim, or row to. Obviously, there is not much difference between walking and wading, just the luck of the tide. Visit the cache on Geocaching.com for the full instructions.

I’ve now got the full complement of geocaches that I need to qualify for this challenge cache as I understood it. There’s a few of us around Caernarfon that are doing this challenge, and hopefully, we’ll have a car load of gals and guys to make another fun day trip to Chorley.
