    Found GC2X86M Travel Bug Hotel - Charnock Richard Services North

    This checkin to GC2X86M Travel Bug Hotel - Charnock Richard Services North reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I'm spending the day helping my partner's brother Robin move from Oxfordshire to Cumbria, then heading back South to Lancaster to try to find the 2021-08-29 54 - 2 geohashpoint before finally โ€ฆ

    Found GC1TPWV Constellations 6

    This checkin to GC1TPWV Constellations 6 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Finding this cache finally "completes" for the Constellation series, which I began back in 2014! Okay, that's not quite true because GC1TPTP (Constelations 9) could yet return to service and then I'll need another trip to get that โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC8TN3Z Constellations 7 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I was glad to be cyclecaching today when I reached this one, because the edge of the village was a perfectly innocuous place to be seen to pull over with my bike and sit down for a rest. โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC1TPV3 Constellations 8 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. My fourth cache of the day was easy to find... but hard to retrieve the logbook from! The inner bag contained not only the logbook and pencil but also some geotreasure, and this had settled into a configuration โ€ฆ

  • Posted a note for GC1TPTP Constellations 9

    This checkin to GC1TPTP Constellations 9 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A shame that this one was still absent as I toured the area - attempting to "finish" the Constellations series I first attempted many years ago! Hopefully if it returns I'll be able to come down again.

    Enjoyed the โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC7NQA3 Constellations 1 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Continuing my morning quest to complete the Constellations series after a seven year pause, this was my second cache of the day. I'd cycled right past it on my way to Constellations 2, where I'd begun my trail, โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC1TPPC Constellations 2 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A little over seven years ago, presquevu and I enjoyed a walk around here and found what are now Constellations 3, 4 and 5, among other caches which are no longer around. This morning, I decided, would finally โ€ฆ
