The Caching Bag
“Geocaching adventures in the Great Lakes”
Elisa a.k.a. Scrapcat lives and caches in southeast Michigan in the USA. She was introduced to caching by her brother on a visit to the Zoo one day back in 2011. She has many interesting, funny and informative stories to tell and they are all laid out beautifully on her blog. In November 2014 she celebrated her 5000th cache on the 1000th day of a caching streak and it doesn’t look like she will be breaking that streak anytime soon. Elisa took Washknight’s interrogation in April 2015.

“A blog dedicated to getting off the couch, turning off the tube and going outside to do something fun… now Get Out!”
mrbream lives in Georgia, USA and has been caching since 2009, but it wasn’t until August of 2015 whilst listening to a geocaching podcast that he decided that it was time he made an effort to complete his grid… by finding a geocache on every date of the year. He started with over 150 dates left to fill and his blog comprises of a monthly update of his progress and some of the interesting caches he finds along the way. If all goes to plan he will complete his Challenge on August 4th 2016, but will it all go to plan?

Life as a Geocacher
“Life as a Geocacher”
Dick is from America and goes by two different caching names – firennice and Bluerajah. His dual geocaching personality is explained by the fact that since 2009 he has been one of the Volunteer Reviewers for Utah where he lives. He likens his introduction to geocaching to be similar to that of taking the red pill or falling down the rabbit hole. His blog is packed with the details of his adventures along with useful guidance about geocaching from the point of view of both a cacher and a reviewer. If you need anymore of an incentive to head on over to his site then I can tellyou that whilst out geocaching he has saved at least one life and got one of the funniest / chilling spider stories I have ever read. Dick took Washknight’s Interrogation challenge in October 2014.

Mud And Nettles
“It’s Fun Out There”
Clare lives in Cambridgeshire in the UK and is the mind and fingers behind, in my mind, one of the best named caching blogs… Mud and Nettles. A mum of three, she is relatively new to both caching and blogging. Her passion for the great outdoors and a keen wit will make you want to return to her site over and over again. Clare took Washknight’s Interrogation challenge in October 2014.

The Muminator
Krista is from Surrey in the UK and maintains an enjoyable and funny blog called The Muminator and the geocaching adventures of her family will always have you giggling.

Krista took Washknight’s Interrogation challenge in September 2014.

OpenCaching North America
Mr Yuck. is the rather bizarre caching name of Jim who lives and caches in the Buffalo / Niagra Falls regionin in America.

Despite having cached for 11 years he confesses he has never yet managed to convert a muggle. Mr Yuck took Washknight’s Interrogation challenge in October 2014..

Perpetual Recepticles
“A Geocaching Blog”
Jólnir, whilst not a prolific cacher compared to some, has certainly led somewhat of a nomadic life for the past couple of years. Starting out in America, study has meant time spent in the UK,Itlay briefly and now Prince Edward Island in the Canadian Maritimes. The blog with one of the cleverest titles I have come across in a while is a detailed account of Jólnir’s caching adventures and includes a fantastic amount of well captioned and impressive photos that compliment the text. Reading each article is imerssive and it is easy to feel as if you are along for the smiley too.

Planes, Trains and Hire Cars
Mark and Donna are from Warickshire in the UK and cache under the name Delta68. Their blog is a fantastic collection of stories about their geocaching adventures.

Their antics are interesting, thrilling and laced with humour and leave you with no doubt that they are utterly bonkers. Mark and Donna took Washknight’s Interrogation challenge in November 2014.

SandhurstGeocachers
The Husband and Wife team of HG137 set themselves a very specific goal back at the end of 2012… to average a cache a day for the next year and to blog about how they achieved it. Their blog is a blow by blow account of their geocaching antics up to and now beyond their original challenge. With plenty of photos accompanying the entries and a good sense of humour throughout, you will be putting this one on your follow list for sure. Helen and Graham took Washknight’s Interrogation challenge in October 2014.

Washknight – Geocaching Blind
“Geocaching, tech, life, blindness and assorted witterings!”
I thought I should include my own blog in the list too. I’m Paul, I cache with my other half as Washknight and we live in Hertfordshire UK with our son Sam a.k. miniknight. I discovered geocaching in 2013 and was hooked instantly. It took a little longer to get the other half as addicted but ever since then, we have had all sorts of great caching adventures. My blog is an account of our journey into the sub-culture of caching and how a blind man can manage to geocache at all .

WizzardPrang’s Ramblings
“Do you have the time, to listen to me whine? About nothing and everything all at once.”
Steve has the interesting caching name of WizzardPrang and loves tech, off roading and, of course, caching which he does in and around Hertfordshire where he lives. His site is the second ever geocaching blog that I found and I have been following it for over a year now, tuning back in to enjoy his wry sense of humour and follow his ongoing quest to one day finish the Chiltern 100. I have had the pleasure of meeting him in person a couple of times and I can say he is a bloody nice guy. Steve took Washknight’s Interrogation in October 2014.
