Todmorden - 19 March 2011

We had planned a weekend away geocaching, staying in the Rambles B&B near Hebden Bridge.

On the way, we stopped to complete a loop round Todmorden, a mixture of caches along the canal, on public footpaths and some along the road. I've never been to Todmorden, and it's a lovely old mill town, full of nice stone buildings. It was one of the first sustainable towns in the UK, and instead of flowerbeds, seems to have mini allotments dotted over the place. I approve!

Anyway, none of the caches were particularly remarkable, we completed several on the Todmorden section of the LEGEND series, to make a small dent in the 600 or so in the series. Our favourite of the day was the Stoodley Pikes Mini Me cache, which although a magnetic nano was a brilliant little piece of public art that many people will walk past without even noticing, but geocaching made us have a proper look at.
