1. Last November, while walking through the car park at ASDA in Newton Abbot, Mel bumped into an old friend from Aylesbury, who she hadnt seen for 20 years (the friend recognised Mel by her auburn hair). Since then, the friend has visited us, and we have visited them (in their lovely cottage in the infamous Woodland Triangle (between the A38, A381, A383 and A384): once you are in, it takes a very long time to get out).
In the meantime, I have been working on a puzzle geocache and had recieved an email from the guy (with a clue) only yesterday morning.
2. So yesterday, we went to supper with the new/old friends, along with a couple of their friends (lets call them D & M) who we had never met. It turns out that not only was D born in Aylesbury (where Mel and her old friend were brought up), but when the conversation turned briefly to geocaching (introduced in a slightly derisory way by Mel, I thought. I'll get her for that), it turns out that D's brother-in-law is none other than the fellow geocacher who had emailed that morning. Weird.

That's one hell of a coincidence!
So, the important bit is did you get the answers to the multicache? :)
Smallus Worldus.

Spooky!
My son does work for a Surrey Amphibian and Reptile conservation group. The treasurer turns out to be someone that Henry went to school with.
I think that's spooky too.
How can it be a triangle is bordered by 4 roads?
It is cos of geography, innit?
