Re: What is the strangest thing you have found whilst out

When Mrs Grizzly was out caching with a friend in an urban area
near Long Eaton she spotted a small fire start in the front
garden of a terrace house. Both her and a friend ran quickly to
a nearby small repairs garage to ask them to ring the fire
brigade, they did better than that and three burly men all came
running with very large fire extinguishers and soon had the fire
out. By this time the residents realised what had happened and
were very thankful to 2 passing geocachers who saved their
garden and maybe even their house.

L8HNB, I have never seen a real UXB whilst caching, or any other
time for that matter. But I, and a few others here, know of a
cache where you have to find and defuse a WWII bomb (not real).
There's not many places you would get away with placing a
container like that :o I could never wish the fire experience
you had on anyone, what a horrible experience for you.
Wrighty, yes, saw whilst going to that cache. You must of taken
a similar route to I did the first time. I have recently helped
that one back to life, it got washed away sometime ago. I take a
much flatter route along the river to that area mostly, though I
could do with doing a bit of hill walking practice otherwise I
will struggle at the coming CacheWalker event walk.

Off the top of my head (I probably have found stranger
things)... the wellington boot just below Fish Hill, Broadway!
*goes to find photo walktall uploaded of it*

The strange thing about it is the fact that it has been there
unmoved for years - well, at least it was there last time I
walked past :D
Think I'll post more in this thread as I remember more strange
things I've found/as I find strange things whilst caching in the
future :)

We were just leaving our B&B on Islay last week on the way to
get a couple and came across this in the road:

While walking on Worms Head, something I've wanted to do for
sometime and now there is an Earth cache

part way along Worms Head
I could see something out to sea. Was it a large bit of wood, a
boat or what ??? Used the camera on full zoom to take a picture,
so I could look at it later. Was a bit surprised to see what it
was when I looked a day later :o :o :o

I await the posting of your next photos which show it finishing
doing its backstroke, getting out and drying itself with a
towel, then sitting with its family in deckchairs on the see
front.
