  • Archived GC7Q96B Oxford's Long-Lost Zoo

    This checkin to GC7Q96B Oxford's Long-Lost Zoo reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. This has been muggled hard. I no longer live very close, so I'm removing the cache: I've extracted the remnants of the container from the GZ.

    Shame to lose such a beautiful container, but it had a good โ€ฆ

  • Dan, on a hilltop, points down into the valley between this and the next hill over. Where he's pointing is a white-and-brown-brick building with a grey slate roof in the iconic shape of a Travelodge hotel.

    Found GC49ERR #5 Billy Wynt - Up Top

    This checkin to GC49ERR #5 Billy Wynt - Up Top reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Wow, definitely had to go off the beaten track for this one. I took a route up and tightly alongside the fence, and only after getting to the GZ did I discover the easier โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC49ERC #4 Billy Wynt - Take a Seat reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found after a brief search, but not in the (pretty obvious) hint location. Looks like it had been found by muggles and just "thrown" back. Log was blank. SL, TFTC. Great view!

    This checkin to GC49EQA #2 Billy Wynt - Little Home reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A brief shower gave me cause for concern - I didn't come dressed for weather - but I pressed on and was rewarded with this cool hide. TFTC.

    This checkin to GC49AEB #1 Billy Wynt - Cattle Grid reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Woke earlier than my friends who'd been to a wedding last night, and used that as an excuse for a quick walk up the hill. Easy find: second place I looked! TFTC. Greetings from โ€ฆ

Having nabbed one of the coveted parking spaces to run an errand in Summertown, I nipped over here to find this cache, too. Coordinates were spot on but I couldn't see the cache, so I โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC8QB2K INWT #11: Myddelton Lodge reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. This cache is closest to where we're staying, and was the third (and final, because our littlest party member had had enough for now) of our expedition. Nice container and a lovely spot. TFTC.

  • Dan and John stand on a two-plank footbridge over a stream alongside Dan's fellow Three Rings volunteer Paul, looking uphill towards the camera. The stream runs through moderately-dense deciduous woodland and the forest floor is covered with greenery.
