  • Dan at the car park of "Q Associates"

    Found GC48ZDW The End Of The World is Nigh

    This checkin to GC48ZDW The End Of The World is Nigh reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Quick cache and dash while in the vicinity. Overshot the obvious parking place and so parked up the road at the premises of "Q Associates". Figured they wouldn't mind given than it's Sunday. โ€ฆ

  • Found GC6DD4G 10MG TABLETS

    This checkin to GC6DD4G 10MG TABLETS reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Easy find once I'd looked at the hint. Container very exposed; re-hid. Excellent log book, highly thematic! Thanks for showing me this spot.

  • Enabled GC86MHH Top of the Footpath

    This checkin to GC86MHH Top of the Footpath reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Turns out the glue I'd used had interacted badly with the material: wasn't melting because of the heat (although that won't have helped) but because of a chemical reaction on the plastic! Repaired and replaced, all โ€ฆ
