FTF! Can’t remember the last time I got one of those; it’s been a while. I woke up this morning thinking about an errand I need to run today that would take me near Standlake when I saw the notification that new cache had appeared.

Spurred into action, I opted to do my chore first thing… and find this geocache while on the way there. Parked up at the village hall and quickly found the sign and all the requisite numbers. Spent a little while looking at the wrong host before spotting the other likely candidate, after which the cache was in hand.

Didn’t bring tweezers in my haste to leave the house, and I trimmed my nails just the other day, so retrieving the log book was a bit of a challenge. Eventually I was successful; log signed and retrieved. So nice to see an empty logbook for once! I’m usually beaten to these things by (CO) muddy legs or Go Catch!

FTF! Happened to be in the city centre eating my sandwiches and looking at my phone when the alert came in: new cache, less than a kilometre away! Hopped on my bike and bombed it down to find this wonderfully subtle cache. Tweezers would definitely have helped here, but a safety pin that I happened to be carrying worked pretty well too. Nice cache, hope it lasts! TFTC.

Wow, what a great cache. FTF!!! reat hiding place; I walked around for about 20 mins before I found it (not helped by the GPS-scattering effect of the nearby trees!). TFTC.

Also, there was no pencil in the cache, so I’ve left one (cut down to a tiny size to fit, obviously).

Changed my mind about waiting until the morning and set out just after midnight, as one can get away with when looking for urban caches. FTF! Found it without even pulling out my GPS, but did have to look inconspicuous for the passing muggles (although they looked too drunk to be paying attention anyway). Took the compass (thanks!), left a candle. TFTC!
