Just to let you know out there that the next in the series is in place and will be published in about 12 days time when I get back from my hols. Sorry if it is just outside the one month rule
Happy hunting

Just to add on. Placed new cache but not allowed anymore when submitted.
OK, I can now reveal to the Geocaching community the result of the race to 5,000 cache finds.
Everyone by now must be aware that Bob, Russ and Maureen have a £10 wager on who would reach 5000 cache finds first, and speculation has been rife on this and other forums.
I can now tell you, it will be a dead heat... But how can this be...
Well, this is a friendly sport and there are many facets as to how to play it. So Bob, Russ and Maureen have decided to reach 5000 cache finds TOGETHER...
Russ rang me to ask if I would place a cache for the occasion and to mark their special milestone. I was both delighted and honoured to do this, but what cache would be appropriate. A 5x5 difficulty rated cache would not be fitting, so I chose something a bit different.
Bob, Russ and Maureen would be delighted to meet with you all at the cache to witness their milestone in the making and go for a drink and a chat afterwards.
The cache is called Rhubarb - Rhubarb - Rhubarb and will not be published until the three have recorded their JOINT 5000th cache find at the cache, thus giving them joint FTF also. Everyone attending can then log the cache too, before going to the pub.
It was too late to organize a cache meet, so this 'meeting' will not be loggable. The cache will not be placed until the time of the meeting, so do not try finding it beforehand, because it will not be there.
So, please meet in the Car Park in Thornes Park Wakefield at 11am on Saturday 12th June. The coordinates are - N53 40.216 W001 30.586
It will be lots of fun and there are a few surprises in waiting for the trio. One of which is that the £10 bets are now neither won or lost, so I will ask Bob, Russ and Maureen to donate £5 towards the Race for Life Charity in which Flookbird is taking part.
It should all be over in plenty of time for you to go caching in the area or get back home to watch England play football in the World Cup.
This is not a DNF - more of a DNDL (Did not dare look). As we walked through the field of cows, one or two of them were looking very interested in us - not in a nice way.. We then spotted a lady who turned out to be a farmer, on the other side of the wall. "Can you pick your dog up" she said, "and hop over this wall?" We readily agreed as she then went on to tell us not to worry about the bull who was approaching. "The black one's the worst" she said. "that one, there, who's coming towards you"! She then advised us to hurry up as "it was better than getting knocked down, wasn't it". We certainly thought so, as we ran off with Cassiedeog in Peter's arms. It was only after we'd climbed over the stile and got out of the field, that we realised that the cache was 200 feet behind us! The friendly old farmer lady was making her way across the field to have a chat. She asked us what we were doing, and after telling her of our walk, she said "Are you mad?" ...We rather think we are.
