Burying stuff

[Nordic]

Over the weekend I was chating to a guy who also guys to Le Mans. He and his friends travel down on Motorbikes and space is restricted.

To save space etc a fair amont of there kit, chairs tables and even a gas bottle & stove get buried every year after the race and dug up again the next year. So far after 10 years nothing has gone missing, some is not useable but never not found.

Does anyone else do this as we are after a bigger table next year and would like to know where to start digging.

I know of a bunch of lads who camp out at Mulsanne every year. They have an enormous metal barbie, with a rather heavy cooking grate. To save on travel space, they bury this, and as far as I am aware, have been doing so for at least 10 years.

A word of warning though, should you decide to start digging looking for buried treasure, a lot of people also dig their own cess-pits!!! So be warned, just because the earh looks soft and freshly dug, does not mean buried treasure of the valuable kind.

A Cache: from the French word to Bury. Wilderness travellers the world over respect the cache of others and would never remove anything from it.

ISTR that the Brethrens famous Bike Burning all started with an exhumed child's bicycle (the bicycle was exhumed, not the child!).

Am I dreaming, Rusty?

Watch out for the pikies with spades or metal detectors if you are going to do some burying!
