Year: 2010

  • Water

    My house is full of it. This isn't good.

    Much thanks to Welsh Water, where a friendly man talked me through the quirks in my stop tap (who'd have thought that it would be so hard to turn a tap off and drain a system). Now I suppose I ought to start mopping. Then I suppose โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GL3DVXT1 Idiom cat reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The first time I saw this cache was the very first time I looked for it, weeks ago. I worked out exactly where it was, looked there, and stared right at it. I even thought to myself: "Wow, โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GL3DV6MJ Llanilar Station reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Wonderful cache: I love these old stations. Picked up the elephant chimes, disposed of some sweets that a previous cacher had left (they were starting to go off and were at risk of attracting animals), and left a โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GL3DV50A IV Bricks reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Took me a couple of attempts, even though I'd worked out the clue in the name. Couldn't see for looking, I guess. Took the Medusa geocoin. Left a sliding puzzle game.

    Found GL3DV3EE Kinky Tracks

    This checkin to GL3DV3EE Kinky Tracks reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. After wiping down my GPS to be able to see the screen in this afternoon's pouring rain, this one turned out to be exactly where I'd have put it, too: should've trusted my instincts. Took the AlwaysLooking geocoin โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GL3DV2KG Nearly Washed Away Mark 2! reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Wonderful little spot: walked right past it twice (GPS was playing up) before I got a good fix on it. TFTC.

    Found GL3DV2E0 We're Near Here

    This checkin to GL3DV2E0 We're Near Here reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Cache is a little exposed: so much so that when I first saw it I thought "that can't be it - too obvious!" Great little cache container. Lovely view of where the railway track used to run โ€ฆ

    Found GL3DV27R Kennel Bridge

    This checkin to GL3DV27R Kennel Bridge reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. To think, I've lived in the area for a decade and I've never known about this stretch of old railway. Immediately guessed where the cache would be, and it was a little too visible so I've camoflaged it โ€ฆ

    Found GL3DV1XF Y Gelli Ddu

    This checkin to GL3DV1XF Y Gelli Ddu reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Great little cache after a very wet hike. Picked up the jeep TB, dropped off Bubbo the Dog TB (apparently he likes animals, so I'm sure he'll enjoy watching the sheep in the nearby field from here). โ€ฆ

  • Macclesfield

    Last weekend, I found myself in Macclesfield to celebrate the engagement of Liz and Simon. Highlights in brief included:

    Board games with the happy couple and their friends, as well as the Aberites who were present. Just like old-school Geek Nights.
    Liz & Simon's awesome new house. Also, their cats, one of whom โ€ฆ

  • Couldn't find GC23WKZ Alpha

    This checkin to GC23WKZ Alpha reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Failed again. but that's probably my fault, going after dark - new coordinates look promising, even if I didn't manage to find it. Also, met RedKite for the first time, so not all bad.

    Also, there was no pencil in the cache, so โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GL3DFY43 Alphabet Series - A reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found this after a short search. Took Bubbo The Dog TB: time to move on, little fella. Quite a bit of litter at this site: somebody feel like coming for a CITO round here? TFTC.
