Found GLER96WM Route Canal - The Sign
This checkin to GLER96WM Route Canal - The Sign reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Cycled past this one on previous occasions and had guessed at the hiding place. Was good to see that I was right. Amusingly, the same tool I'd (mis)used to sharpen my pencil, minutes earlier, proved …

This checkin to GLER95V8 Route Canal - SwingBridge reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Decided it was time to find a few more from this lovely series, so came out this way on the way home from work today. Nice easy find. Discovered that the end had come off my …

The Tour de France website lists the names of all hills using the French style...

Côte de Whatnow? (Or: Yorkshire, I love you.)
I've just been looking at the map of today's stage of Le Tour de France Yorkshire (inexplicably starting in England).The map lists the biggest hills on the route, and despite this section of the route being in England, the names are prefaced "Côte de "There's three hills worthy of note on the maptoday. The first, Côte…

Little people, big shame
Sorry about the long break — I just wish I could tell you that it was because I’d been completely unable to find any awful examples of the pink/blue ‘colour bar’ in kids’ stuff. Sadly the truth is quite the reverse: there seems to be more of this crap every day, it gets demoralising, and…

Found GLEM32TE Oxford Medical History #1: Medical mould
This checkin to GLEM32TE Oxford Medical History #1: Medical mould reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Despite having helped the CO to hunt for hiding spots, it still took me a while to retrieve this one as muggles kept passing by! Got there in the eve. TFTC!

ISEE-3
Back in early March, I posted comic #1337, Hack, about a wayward spacecraft. ISEE-3/ICE was returning to fly past Earth after many decades of wandering through space. It was still operational, and could potentially be sent on a new mission, but NASA no longer had the equipment to talk to itand announced that reconstructing the equipment…

The quietest (Mega)Lounge yet? Ever?
[this post was originally made to a private subreddit]
As I've made my way up through the lounges, I've discovered - as you'd expect - that each has been quieter than the one that preceded it. Does this trend continue, I wonder: do we end with somebody (Greypo, I guess!) talking to themselves? Or is … -
Found GLEJ3XFQ Oxford Medical History #2: Grey matter
This checkin to GLEJ3XFQ Oxford Medical History #2: Grey matter reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. An easy enough find made easier by the fact that I helped find the hiding spot for the owner! Came by on the way home from work to drop off a Georgian. TFTC!
