    This checkin to GC98N3F Tar Lakes/South Leigh Loop #7 Elisabeth Moss reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Spotting the geotrail here was easy. Avoiding the spiky plants was harder, and for the first time today I regretted having dressed so lightly. Found the cache without difficulty, but returned from its โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC98N15 Tar Lakes/South Leigh Loop #4 You've Got Mail reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

  • Graph showing, over time, the number of large tools increasing as a rake, midi-spade, post holer, rake and others are acquired. Each acquired tool is labelled with what it is. However: a hatchet, a pickaxe and two log splitting axes are not labelled.

    I made a graph to show how the number of large hand tools stored in our garage has changed this last year but I forgot to label the axes.

    Dan, Ruth, JTA and the kids go to Lichfield and it's great, perhaps mostly because they never get to go anywhere, lately.

    Found GC52ERH Half Cut

    This checkin to GC52ERH Half Cut reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Got a little bit prickled reaching for this one, while out on a pre-breakfast walk. Glad I sighted the container before I started feeling for it or it'd have been worse!
