Barking (N 51° 21.503 W 000° 03.365)

This cache is called Barking on Geocaching and was done by HouseOfDragons. It was quick to find the location, but took us about 5 minutes to find the cache which was cleverly hidden in the bushes, disguised as a branch, hanging off some fishing line. Alan and I decided to put the marble we took from the previous cache into this cache as the small pens we brought along would not fit. 

Forgot to take photos of the cache in the bushes as we were in a rush to get to the next one.

Dark Horse (N 51° 21.372 W 000° 03.556)

This cache is called Dark Horse on Geocaching and was the first cache Alan, JR and I did together. It took me about half an hour in the cold to get an application downloaded and installed onto my phone that would be able to direct us to the cache. Once we knew where we were going, the 3 of us headed off down a muddy trail. Thanks to the GPS position error, getting the exact spot was a bit difficult, but after much trial and error we worked out the spot we needed to look in. The cache is well camouflaged and I only found it purely by accident.

HouseOfDragons did an excellent job of hollowing out a small tree stump and hiding the small cache under it. The cache contained the usual log book and pencil, marbles and other bit and bobs.

We decided to take the large marble with us, but the small pens we brought with would not fit in the cache.

What this cache did was wet our appetite to find more :-)
