  • Dan at the Fourth Plinth

    Found GC7B73B Virtual Reward : The Fourth Plinth

    This checkin to GC7B73B Virtual Reward : The Fourth Plinth reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. An easy find while grabbing the (much harder, in account of muggles!) physical cache nearby. Message to CO to follow. TFTC!

  • Found GC5A7DW Trafalgar Square

    This checkin to GC5A7DW Trafalgar Square reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Fantastic hide! Stood around looking at my phone for a bit while some pot-smoking workmen nearby eyed me suspiciously, but eventually they moved away and I had a moment to retrieve the cache. Glad I came first thing โ€ฆ

    Now that Google+ has been shuttered, I should air my dirty laundry on how awful the project and exec team was.

    I'm still pissed about the bait and switch they pulled by telling me I'd be working on Chrome, then putting me on this god forsaken piece of shit on day one.

    This will be a super โ€ฆ

  • New South Wales Government Railways' AD60-class "6040", with mystery pipes highlighted

    Mystery Pipe

    There's a strange pipe on this steam locomotive. Can you guess what it's for?

  • Dan and two statue-people holding a globe

    Found OK0300 M-libs12L

    This checkin to OK0300 M-libs12L reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Barely a stone's throw from my last waypoint: I'm spending more time getting selfies than I am walking about! TFTC.

    Found OK02FF M-libs 12B

    This checkin to OK02FF M-libs 12B reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I can't help but notice that this "modern missus" is quite-literally being held back by a chain (of oppression?). Not sure that's what the artist intended or just an unfortunate side-effect of the way it's been installed, though!

    Note OK02FB M-libs12K

    This checkin to OK02FB M-libs12K reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Coordinates look off, to me. I've sampled at N 52ยฐ 01.500', W 000ยฐ 42.440', which looks more accurate to me.

    Found OK02FB M-libs12K

    This checkin to OK02FB M-libs12K reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Topiary-tastic! Great spot for a virtual.

  • Dan at a Fire Assembly Point sign (at which there possibly once used to be a piece of artwork)

    Dnf OK0307 M-libs 12S

    This checkin to OK0307 M-libs 12S reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. No sign of any artwork at the GZ, unless a fire assembly point sign counts...

    Need-maintenance OK0303 M-libs12H

    This checkin to OK0303 M-libs12H reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Aside from the (loose) historical connection, there's little to recommend this waypoint. But thanks for the history lesson!

    (Oh, I can't log this one either... another password needed and no indication of where I can should begin looking for it...)

    Need-maintenance OK02FE M-libs12W

    This checkin to OK02FE M-libs12W reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Interesting history. Apparently I need a password to log this, though? Not clear where I'm supposed to find that...

    Beginning to get the feeling like this cache series might need some attention/updating!

    Found OK0301 M-libs12N

    This checkin to OK0301 M-libs12N reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Interesting spot. I'm on campus guide an exam but I've arrived early. Thanks for the excuse to take a tour around!

    Dnf OK0306 M-libs 12M

    This checkin to OK0306 M-libs 12M reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Not found... I think? I'm standing at the GZ and despite a reasonable explore I can't see anything that could be described as artwork in plain sight... :-(

    This checkin to GC69JGP 5L22 LOG Charlies 5th Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. GPSr walked me right to it, and luckily the joggers who were here a moment ago have gone, so there was only a family of moorfowl watching me as I retrieved and signed the log. โ€ฆ
