Before I took up Geocaching, I lived and worked in Bradford City Centre, and rarely had any reason to venture outside the city limits, especially as at the time I wasn't a driver.

Geocaching changed all that, and I would explore the many corners of West Yorkshire once or twice a week.

These are my favourite caches.

Hidden Bradford: Lookout! 

Ok, so it's one of my own caches, sadly now archived, but it was such a great cache.   I discovered the area on Google Earth one day, and found this wonderful little Nature Reserve just around the corner from the Pub we have Sunday lunch at.  I must have gone past it hundreds of times over the years and never spotted that it was there!  I hope someone places another cache there soon!

The Titus Teaser by Leecee

Before finding my first cache, I DNFd 4 caches, and this was the second of them.  This cache, under the shadow of the magestic Salts Mill in Saltaire (a world heritage site) is a real bamboozler for new cachers, and still a challenge to those with more experience.

A Squirrels Nuts by A Squirrel

This cache introduced me to the scenic St Ives Estate just outside Bingley.  The cache itself is a good sized cache in a nice woodland.  A year or so later a collection of Wooden Sculpture were placed in the wood, and it inspired myself and my Daughter to create Mini Multisculptural . 

Goit Stock Falls by The Biffas 

A nice simple puzzle cache, rewarded by a nice riverside walk.  If you walk beyond the cache, you are greeted by what you see in the picture. 

Meanwood Meander by Maxkim 

My first experience of a long Multi series, which inspired me to try placing a series of my own.

Another Windy Hill (It's Electrifying) by Dave and Maerwen

Hidden up at Ovenden Wind Farm, a awe inspiring place to get up close to; only I did it in pitch black.

With the sound of the rotors all around, it made for an interesting experience! 

Cats Eyes  

Ok, blowing my own trumpet again.  Everything came together so well for this cache, it recites the urban legend of how Cats Eyes were invented and gives the cacher a chance to see the factory, and use some actual Cats Eyes to figure out the starting coords of the trail. 

As for the trail itself?  Well, that's best left as a surprise, but it has to be done in the dark.  Depending on the time of year it can be very muddy.  Several group visits have been made, including a group of 20 on Halloween 2006 (for which I specially enhanced the experience).

Give it a go, but bring your wellies and a torch! 

Your Mission, should you choose to accept it...  

So good I wish I'd thought of it first.  I can't say anymore about this one without spoiling the cache.
