Met with evilmattikinz yesterday to see Oakham Castle…which is a somewhat peculiar place – theres some earthworks, all that remains of a 12th century castle, and in the middle of the area is a building which looks rather like a church, but not quite. It has most recently been used as a courthouse, and is still set up as such inside, complete with two cells for prisoners at the back of the building.
We then went on to Blighty – Rutland to find our first geocache, something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. It was a good place to start, nicely hidden but easy enough to find if you know what you’re looking for. Its a passtime I could quite get into. I fear I will feel the need to alter my software though, since its a little irritating at the moment, I’ve got a bluetooth GPS unit that talks to my phone, but the software is mostly navigation software and isn’t really ideal for a ‘normal GPS’ output. It works but is a bit…odd.
